\u00a0Hundreds of needy and underprivileged children drawn from Osu, Art Centre and Accra Central areas were given a treat at the Street Academy premises where the acad\u00ademy held its annual end of year gathering for children.<\/p>\n
They were joined by children in the academy and other special guests, board members and stake\u00adholders of the academy to give the children a feel of Christmas.<\/p>\n
The occasion, the 22nd Dinner and Awards Night on Saturday, celebrated the achievement of students and aimed at raising awareness for the vulnera\u00adble children in society.<\/p>\n
The guests enjoyed the festive evening with food, drinks and entertainment, fostering a sense of unity and purpose.<\/p>\n
They engaged in several activities including chore\u00adography and drama, while the cultural troupe and school choir entertained guests with impressive dance and musical perfor\u00admances.<\/p>\n
Addressing the children and guests, the Director of<\/p>\n
\u00a0the academy, Ataa Lartey, empha\u00adsised the importance of community support in uplifting the children he described as unfortunate.<\/p>\n
According to him, Street Acad\u00ademy was all about helping these vulnerable street children and find a way to teach them some skills to get them out of the road.<\/p>\n
The initiative, Ataa Lartey explained, does not only recog\u00adnise academic excellence but also highlighted the ongoing efforts to improve the lives of street children in Ghana.<\/p>\n
The academy is a sports and culture non-profit organisation that offers formal education to children that are brilliant, and train others in sports and other skills training<\/p>\n
