Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Celebrating a woman of valor with a heart of gold. On this special day, I celebrate you, your kindness and the aura surrounding your person towards the Ghanaian Mother and Child. We applaud you for your selflessness towards women and children.

We are very grateful and thankful to God for your life as you celebrate today. She has been a fountain of love, knowledge, and inspiration. Her entire life was spent amidst the downtrodden. To quote, Mother Theresa, she is “God’s pencil—a tiny bit of pencil with which he writes what he likes.” CARING. I join hands with all these project beneficiaries to say may Heavens smile on you always.
