Ghana Ass. of Upstate South Carolina-USA donates educational materials to Gomoa-Fetteh based Village of Hope Orphanage

The Ghana Association Upstate South Carolina (GAUSC), a social group made up of Ghanaians and friends of Ghana based in the U.S., has donated educational materials worth GHC 20,000 to the Village of Hope Orphanage in Gomoa-Fetteh, Ghana.

This initiative aligns with GAUSC’s mission of supporting sustainable development in both Ghana and the United States.

The donation, which included school bags, exercise books, notebooks, pencils, erasers, sharpeners, and mathematical sets, is intended to provide essential resources for the children’s educational growth.

Mr. Charles Agyeman, a GAUSC representative, traveled to Ghana to present the items and explained that Village of Hope was chosen due to the significant impact of work of the managers and caregivers in supporting vulnerable children.

Mr. Agyeman used the opportunity to call for more investment for the education sector. He re-emphasized the vital role education plays in breaking the cycle of poverty and creating brighter futures for children.

“Every contribution towards improving the quality of education is a step towards a more educated, empowered, and independent Africa,” he stated.

Mr. Agyeman commended management and caregivers at Village of Hope for their dedication to rescuing and nurturing children in difficult circumstances.

“Your commitment to saving lives and transforming futures is truly inspiring. We are deeply moved by your mission to serve humanity and look forward to seeing these students achieve their academic and personal goals,” he reiterated.

The Deputy Managing Director, Village of Hope, Mr. Kwaku Sarkodie, who received the items on behalf of the orphanage, expressed his outfit’s heartfelt thanks to the executives and members of GAUSC.

According to him the generous donation received from GAUSC will make a real difference in the lives of the children.

Mr. Sarkodie, like Oliver Twist, appealed to other philanthropic individuals, and organizations to come to the aid of the orphanage since there is still more work to be done.

“Many more children out there, and in this orphanage need our help with food, clothing, and education, and we are committed to rescuing and caring for as many as possible,” the deputy director of Village of Hope added.
