ICGC The Royal Temple donates to Akropong School for the Blind
The Royal Temple of the International Central Gospel Church at Awoshie–Anyah in Accra has donated food and essential household items valued at over GH ¢50,000 to the Akropong School for the Blind as part of activities marking its 28th anniversary celebration.
The items included bags of rice, gallons of cooking oil, soft drinks, other food items, sachet water, toilet rolls, paper hand towels, sanitary pads, toiletries and detergents, aimed at supporting the feeding, hygiene and general welfare needs of students and staff of the school.
A delegation from the church visited the school last Saturday to interact with the students and also make the donation.
Speaking during the presentation, the Senior Pastor of The Royal Temple and Regional Overseer for Accra West, Rev. Samuel Awuku-Gyekye, highlighted the challenges faced by institutions catering for persons with disabilities.
“Running a school for persons with disability is a demanding responsibility, particularly in a nation where limited resources must be shared among many pressing needs.
“Institutions such as the Akropong School for the Blind require consistent support from churches, organisations and individuals to ensure smooth operations and proper care for students.
In recognition of this, we chose to celebrate our anniversary not only with thanksgiving, but with practical compassion.” he added.
He said the donation underscored the church’s commitment to holistic ministry—combining the preaching of the Gospel with tangible expressions of Christian love through social intervention.
More than a donation
The headmistress, Veronica Dery, who led the students to receive the items, expressed appreciation for the timely support, noting that the donation would go a long way to ease the school’s operational burden and improve the daily living conditions of both students and staff.
She said beyond the gesture, the interaction with the students was also a heartwarming gesture as it showed them that there were people out there who cared about them and sought their welfare and wellbeing.
