Operating from a  virtually no-ventilated single room with a make-shift kitchen, some  hundred and over children are on daily basis taken through the sordid  experience of sitting through the heat, sleeping on bare floors, some  almost naked with no clothing on and just about anything inhumane.<br \/>\nMostly  children of female head porters otherwise known as \u201cKayayei\u201d, the  students, aged between 1 \u00bd to 10 years, are left in the care of these  mothers, who time and again have proved how overwhelming the task of  taking care of these children and its associated health and  environmental challenges can be.<br \/>\nA visibly crestfallen Stephanie,  who at a point couldn\u2019t hold back her tears, told the mothers of the  facility that she, together with well-meaning Ghanaians will ensure that  the Centre gets the needed facelift, promising to start some works  early this year. The mothers in turn, thanked her for the gesture and  promised to put to good use the items donated.<br \/>\nThe Sodom and  Gomorrah Christmas outreach programme is one of many embarked upon by  Stephanie since she was crowned Miss Ghana 2010 some three months ago.  The very witty and down-to-earth lady has through her various public  engagements, continues to put smiles on the faces of the poor and  dejected in Society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miss Ghana 2010, Stephanie Karikari has in a show of solidarity and support for mankind spent part of the holiday season with children and supervisors of a dilapidated Day Care Centre in the slums of \u2018Sodom and Gomorrah\u2019 in Accra.
