Story: Tim Dzamboe, Hohoe
The Hohoe District Director of the Department of Social Welfare, Mr George Anyomi, has advised orphanages to comply with laid down regulations in order not to abuse the rights of poor children.
He said the adoption of children was a technical issue and that those who wanted to do it should pass through legitimate processes to give credence to children’s welfare which was paramount in the laws of the nation.
Mr Anyomi said this at a durbar held in honour of a group of donors from England, the United States of America and Canada in respect of their assistance to the Christian Orphanage Home at Hohoe.
The ceremony also witnessed the presentation of a laptop to the Department of Social Welfare by the donors.
Mr Anyomi said children should not be toyed with, and warned non-governmental organisations which operated illegally, and parents who sacrificed their children to orphanages for no apparent reason to desist from the unlawful habit.
The Director of the orphanage, Mr Nicholas Abibu Koku Victus, said 86 children had been adopted at the orphanage, adding that they would be catered for until they became self sustainable.
