An Elder of the Church of Pentecost (COP) at Akuapem Larteh, Elder Isaac Debrah Bekoe has appealed to Ghanaians most particularly those in sound economic standing to attend to the less privileged in society.
According to him, even though it is simple to be happy, it is however difficult to be simple when Ghanaians fall short of collectively contributing by any means possible to making the lives of others relatively meaningful.
To this, he humbly tasked leadership, members, and individuals in the various churches to take the responsibility of taking care of the needy and the less privileged in the churches and communities.
The Larteh COP elder who doubles as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of As I Grow, an  NGO based at Larteh made the call when he donated a piece of cloth each to widows, aged, and needy women in Larteh township.
The beneficiaries were drawn from the Roman Catholic Church, Presbyterian Church, Methodist Church and three local assemblies in the church of Pentecost in and around Larteh.
According to him, the gesture was his widow’s mite and part of an annual programme to make these individuals feel loved and important in society.
The young philanthropist, in an interview with The Chronicle, bemoaned how these widows, less privileged and aged are left with no hope and joy during festive occasions, thus his call to duty to put smiles on their faces.
Elder Debrah Bekoe Isaac noted that it is time for the church, individuals and leaders to find means of sustaining the joy and happiness of the less privileged in our society to increase life expectancy.
The widows and the aged expressed their profound gratitude to Elder Debrah Bekoe for supporting them and prayed for him to receive more financial blessings so that he would continue to support them.
