THE 2006 Year Group of the Accra City Campus of the University of Ghana has donated items worth GH¢2,000 to the Teshie Orphanage in Accra.
The items, which comprised foodstuffs, pillows, used clothes, toys, books and groceries, were intended to help with the upkeep of the inmates of the home.
Presenting the items, Mrs Mabel Offin-Agyeman, the President of the alumni, said the donation was part of the social responsibility of the year group.
She said the group would continue to support the orphanage within the constraints of its limited resources.
Receiving the items, the Founder of the home, Mrs Janet Anyeley Parker, said it had been depending on donations from individuals, groups and corporate entities.
The orphanage, which was established in November 1995, has been able to support 14 children in junior high school, six in senior high school and one in the university.
She explained that eight teenage mothers had also been supported to acquire skills in hairdressing and dressmaking.
Currently, Mrs Parker said, the home was providing care, food, shelter and clothes for 35 children and thanked the group for its kind gesture.
She appealed to other organisations to contribute generously towards the upkeep of the inmates of the home.
