Elmina Dec.27, Ghanadot/GNA- Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom, flag bearer

philanthropists and the rich to assist the poor,
particularly orphans to enable them to make live meaningful.

during festive occasions like Christmas to boost the morale
of the disadvantaged.

380 orphans from five orphanages in Cape Coast and Elmina,
at Coconut Grove Hotel, Elmina on Boxing Day.
The children, who treated to highlife music and Christmas
chorals, were presented with gifts, food and soft drinks and
each orphanage was given a bag of rice.
Dr Nduom who is also the Member of Parliament for
Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA) constituency, said he
organise the party for the orphans the to have a feel of
life outside their orphanages.
He said, "Everyone is the child of God and everyone is
capable of becoming successful in life if given the needed
support and push."
Dr Aduom advised the children to respect their foster
parents and take their education seriously to enable them to
reach greater heights.
He urged the authorities of the various orphanages to ensure
that the children were given the needed care and love and
support so that they could become responsible adults.
