Kennedy Agyapong, the Member of Parliament for Assin Central, celebrated his 64th birthday with a heartwarming gesture towards the less privileged.
On Sunday, June 16, Agyapong made a generous donation to the Kumasi Children’s Home, coinciding with both Father’s Day and the Muslim festival of Eid ul-Adha.
The donation, led by Mr Agyapong’s former campaign coordinator, Lawyer William Kusi, included a variety of essential items such as toiletries, assorted food items, clothing, teaching and learning materials, and other necessities.
Mr Kusi highlighted the importance of the donation, emphasizing Agyapong’s commitment to supporting the welfare of the children at the home.
“Kennedy Agyapong is 64 today and he has decided to mark this day with orphans. He has always been a father for all of us, and so for that reason, we are here today on his behalf to make this donation and also tell Ghanaians that we should not give up,” said Kusi.
Despite facing numerous challenges in his own life, including dropping out of school and growing up in a poor household, Agyapong has achieved significant success. Kusi shared Agyapong’s message of perseverance and determination, aiming to inspire the children at the Home.
“He is making this donation as a token for God’s guidance, protection, and security throughout the period and the success he achieved during the last primaries where he performed so well. The message to all children is that it is possible to overcome difficulties and succeed in life,” added Kusi.
The authorities at the Kumasi Children’s Home expressed their heartfelt gratitude for the donation. Mabel Pinamang Boamah, the Home Manageress, thanked Agyapong on behalf of the Ministry of Gender and Children Protection, the Department of Social Welfare, and the Home’s Management, wishing him blessings and success in his political endeavors.
