At the presentation hosted by Charlotte’s Memorial Foundation, an Accra-based non-governmental organization (NGO), Reverend Andrews counseled children and young adults against the ills of society and praised the mother of the home, Mrs. Emelia Turkson , for prioritizing education for the children in her care.

Items included rice, milk, cooking oil, bath soap, sugar, gari and washing powder. Introducing the items, the Reverend Minister said the donation was made possible by his close friends and family who greatly appreciated the current economic hardships and struggles that many Ghanaians were going through.

Earlier, Reverend Andrews and members of Charlotte’s Memorial Foundation had lunch with the children and their caregivers.

He interacted with them and congratulated the young adults among them, some of whom had just graduated from college, two of whom had joined the armed forces.
