Pelangio Exploration Inc, a Canada-based mineral exploration company, has donated an amount of $10,000 to the Apeate Support Fund, established by Government to alleviate the plight of victims of the recent explosion disaster at Apeate.
The contribution by the Exploration firm is to support government’s effort to rebuild the Apeate community as well as provide relief for affected persons.
This donation by Pelangio Exploration Inc follows earlier donations from President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the Minerals Commission, making Pelangio the third to donate to support the fund.
The donation was made on Monday by the company’s Africa Vice-President, Mr Samuel Torkonoo.

Receiving the donation, the chairperson of the Apeate Support Fund, Dr. Joyce Aryee, thanked Pelangio Exploration for its kind gesture.
She also used the opportunity to call on Ghanaians and other benevolent organisations to donate to the fund to achieve the aim of rebuilding the Apeate community.
