The Catholic Organisation for Social and Religious Advancement (COSRA) at Corpus Christi Catholic Church, New-Tafo, in Kumasi, has donated foods and other relief items worth over GH¢10,000 to the inmates at Missionaries of Charity Sisters of Mother Theresa New Life Home at Mbrom, a suburb of Kumasi.
The items donated to the Home include; five bags of Rice, a gallon of cooking oil, a bag of sugar, pampers, toiletries, five crates of eggs, four cartons of milk, milo, sardines, soap, detergents, powder and second hand clothes.
The donation forms part of the organisation’s 25th Anniversary Celebration.
Mr. Kelvin Kwame Acquah and Mr. Simon Oppong, the President and Vice President respectively of the Society, disclosed that charity was part of their social responsibility as their name implies and as part of the activities to mark their anniversary, deemed it appropriate to support the inmates at the Home.
According to the president, the gesture was an annual routine in support of the needy, regardless of one’s religious background.
He stated that they decided to come to the aid of the Charity Sisters upon realising that the Home lacked permanent supporters, but rather on rely on individuals, philanthropists, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Churches and religious groups.
Mr.Acquah appealed to groups, philanthropists, Churches and other societies to emulate COSRA’s gesture and come to the aid of the Charity Sisters Home to lessen the burden of upbringing the inmates.
