Franklin Atta presenting the items on behalf of RCARRC to Rev Sister Grace

The expression on the faces of kids at Kressner Orphanage at Amasaman-Otaten was priceless when members of Rotary Club of Accra Ring Road Central (RCARRC), once again, paid a visit to the place last Saturday to donate items valued at thousands of Ghana cedis as part of their Easter charity.

Items donated included bags of rice, gallons of cooking oil, bales of clothing, a range of toiletries, toys, cartons of milk and Milo, bags of sugar, sardines, among many others.

Themed ‘Rotary Serving Humanity’, the visit and presentation formed part of RCARRC’s activities to support the home in meeting their basic needs and helping improve the standard of living of the less-privileged children at Amasaman-Otaten and its environs.

Franklin Atta, who donated the items on behalf of the President of RCARRC, William Alomatu, pointed out that the club, in line with the guiding principles of Rotary, seeks to improve the lives of mothers and children in deprived communities and better the plight of everyone.

The relationship between RCARRC and the management of Kressner Orphanage, Mr Atta revealed, is almost five years old, adding, “This relationship has been nurtured till today and the result is yet another addition to the improvement that the Rotary Club of Accra Ring Road Central has undertaken to provide to your outfit in Sowutuom.”

The club also promised to accomplish an additional mission which is to submit the completed drawings to facilitate the processing of permit for the laundromat project for which the club cut the sod during the last Christmas at Sowutuom, a suburb of Accra.

Rev Sister Grace, director of the orphanage, thanked RCARRC for the support and expressed the hope that other associations and philanthropists would emulate the club’s shining examples.
Mr Atta added, “…We hope that our modest contribution of the welfare to the health needs of mothers and infants will go a long way to improve the quality of life of the people of Sowutuom and its environs and directly or indirectly provide the needed support for the Kressner Orphanage.”

The facility

Funded by the Rotary Club of Otterndorf-Land in German in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Accra with about $700,000, Kressner Orphanage was inaugurated to serve the needs of the people of Ardeyman-Otaden in the Amasaman District.

The facility consists of caregivers’ rooms, a 60-bed living quarters, a four-classroom block, a social centre, a pantry, recreational rooms and a convent for the nuns. The orphanage caters for children of HIV/AIDS patients, the less-privileged and vulnerable in society, as well as orphans.
