The Volta School for the Deaf and Blind – Hohoe, which is situated in Ghana’s Volta Region, recently received donations of food, detergents, and other supplies from the Dress-A-Kid Foundation (DAK), a volunteer organization.
The donation was made on May 1, 2023, and it was a part of the organization’s dedication to supporting children’s welfare across Ghana, especially those who live in rural regions or have special needs.
Bags of rice, maize, beans, gari, cooking oil, toiletries, bibles, and clothing were also donated.
The Headmistress of the Volta School for the Deaf and Blind, Madam Ophelia Kushigbor, expressed her gratitude to the group for their kind gesture, stating that the school was running low on food supplies, making the donation very timely.
Mad. Kushigbor went on to appeal for additional support for the school, as many of the students come from low-income families.
Speaking on behalf of the volunteers, Mrs. Anita Mensah expressed that the donation was just one of many ways to positively impact the community.
She added that the Dress-A-Kid Foundation has made around 30 donations since its inception in 2013 and has visited the Volta School for the Deaf twice.
Mrs. Anita Mensah also thanked WATS, a Rana Motors sister company, and SRSA (Dunlop Tyres) for supporting the donation with a Hyundai bus and other travel expenses for the volunteers from Accra to Hohoe and back.
The Dress-A-Kid Foundation is an online charity group comprised of friends who believe in the spirit of giving and has helped many children throughout the country succeed and thrive, both inside and outside of the classroom.
