Presenting the items to the queen mother of the town, the founder and president of Giving Hope Foundation, Patience Ashorkor Quaye, said her outfit supports the needy by “focusing on changing lives, especially women and children for the best” through Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), which is recognised as a crucial vehicle for social equity and sustainable development.
She also seized the occasion to commend the Executive Director for Sooyoo Foundation and Ten Talents, a Ghanaian based in the United Kingdom (UK), Naa Tsotso, for their tremendous contribution towards the development of the town.
Appreciation
Receiving the items, the queen mother of Awudome Avenui, Mama Elewosi Akordake Gbeklui IV, expressed her profound gratitude to the institutions for remembering the people of Awudome Avenui and putting smiles on their faces.
Taking her turn, the Assembly member for the area, Vincentia Okai, said her mission is to build the capacities of women and children in Awudome Avenui and beyond by implementing creative community-based strategies that result in enhancing economic opportunities, strong neighbourhoods, and ensure a dynamic framework for quality growth and development, using TVET and good health care awareness through traditional and global leaders.
The chief of Awudome Avenui Community, Togbe Adzesi Dzaga VI, appealed to other well-meaning Ghanaians to turn their eyes to his community.
He also warned the youth to desist from unwanted behaviour that would put investors away from the community, and thereby create a bad image for Awudome Avenui.
