The Volta Regional New Patriotic Party (NPP) Women's Wing has presented assorted items to the Remar Ghana Children’s Home in Ho in commemoration of this year’s Mother’s Day.

The items included 25 5kg bags of rice, a carton of Milo, 2 cartons of Kalyppo, a 50kg bag of sugar, a pack of toilet roll, a carton each of vegetable cooking oil, evaporated milk, processed tomatoes, detergent and tinned fish and 10 bags of sachet water.

The rest are 50 locally produced face masks, 50 hand sanitizers, 10 bottles of liquid soap, two maxi rolls of tissue and a set of hand washing materials to enable inmates observe the safety protocols to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. 

The NPP Volta Regional Women’s Organiser, Afi Adzagbo, said the donation was to show appreciation to the inmates whose prayers saw her elected to her current position. 

“Today being Mother’s Day, I decided to come and celebrate it with my children here. Children are blessing and our happiness, so I am here today to donate something small and listen to your problems, and see how best the party can help solve them”, she said. 

The NPP Volta Regional Organiser, Emmanuel Korsi Bodja, implored the inmates to be obedient and remain committed to their education to ensure they grow to become people of substance in the future.
