THE women’s wing of the Evangelical Universal Church in Ho has presented assorted items to the cured lepers in Ho as part of the national week celebration of the Christian Women Association of the church.
The items included two bags of rice, a quantity of key soap, toilet rolls, loaves of bread, a quantity of matches and a large quantity of used clothing.
Making the presentation, the National President of the association, Dr Mrs Jane Gadzekpo said the gesture was in response to the plight of the inmates of the leprosarium.
She said the gift was intended to give the inmates hope in accordance with Biblical tenets on the provision of health, food, shelter and clothing for the poor.
Receiving the items, the Principal Technical Officer in charge of Leprosy Control Programme at the Ho Polyclinic, Mr Anthony Adjavon, thanked the group for the gesture.
He called on other organisations to emulate the example of the women to make it possible to feed the inmates three times a day, instead of the current precarious situation where they were fed once a day.
