Bola Ray
Bola Ray of Joy 99.7FM, who is known in real life as Nathaniel Kwabena Anokye Adisi, Nana Aba Anamoah of TV3 and boxer Joshua Clottey have been appointed ambassadors of the SOS Villages in Ghana.
The three personalities, with the exception of Joshua Clottey, who was not at the ceremony, were unveiled at a well-attended outdooring ceremony held at the Grandma Alice Hall of the SOS Village in Tema last Thursday.
They will serve as mouthpieces and spread the SOS Children’s Villages Ghana messages, serve as role models and mentors for all SOS children and maintain a positive influence and image.
They will also be advisors to the Communications and Fundraising Department of the institution, providing insights from the general public perception.
The three ambassadors are reputable personalities who are passionate and committed to solving the problems of the orphaned child, child abandonment and destitution in collaboration with SOS Children’s Villages Ghana.
Bola Ray, Nana Aba Anamoah and Joshua Clottey are also expected to win a minimum of 50 committed givers for SOS Children’s Villages Ghana.
The SOS Village Board vice president, Mr. Sedufia, in an address, underscored the importance of ambassadors to the village’s quest to provide a home for the homeless.
He said the three ambassadors were coming on board at a time that SOS Ghana was on the verge of extending their services further to the Ashanti region and two more communities in the Greater Accra region, namely Chorkor and Ashiaman.
Bola Ray, on his part, said he was delighted to be back at the Village after a donation to the village in January. He said this was just the beginning of bigger things to come.
The Drive Time host on Joy FM revealed that the honour was a dream come true for him, stating that true to the ambassadorial pledge, he was going to be dedicated to the cause.
He admitted that children were vulnerable and they needed the support of all. “We are going to use our networks to raise funds to support the home,” he assured.
Nana Aba Anamoah, who said she loved children, also expressed her delight at the role bestowed on her, pledging “we will be working together; I will be making more friends for the village…”
As a passionate reader, she said she was going to encourage the children in the village to read since it was a powerful tool for their personal development.
The event was also attended by the SOS Tema Village Director, Isaac Ackon, Nana Efua Rockson, Mothers of the Village, some of the children at the village and media personalities.
