Golden Tulip K’si supports orphanages

Golden Tulip Kumasi City, as part of its corporate social responsibility,  has made donations to some orphanages in and around the  Kumasi metropolis. 

The hotel team, led by Mr Sam Obiri Aduama and Ms Jackie Senoo, the General Manager and the Sales and Marketing Manager respectively, visited the children’s homes and presented television sets, bed sheets, toiletries, bags of rice and cooking oil, lunch packs and soft drinks to the beneficiaries. 

Most of the homes visited  had an average of 50 children, and one of them,  Cherubs Home, located at Apre, near Santasi in Kumasi, had children aged between five months to 17 years with 60 per cent  of them being males.  The orphanage is owned by Mr Nicholas Osei Bonsu.

According to Mr Bonsu, the children were conveyed in and out of the home every day to Hemang, a town nearby, where they all attended school. 

Mr Bonsu,  in his response to how children were brought to the home, said  during his evangelism work, he and  his team came across homeless or street children with no  parental or any proper guardian care and once they ascertained the status of such children, he sought the consent of the family or the available relatives and brought them to the home. 

A volunteer from the United States of America, Ms Ashly  Allan, together with Mr Bonsu, expressed their gratitude to Golden Tulip for the gesture.

In a related development, the hotel visited some homes  including the Kumasi Children’s Home, Save Our Lives Home, and Ashan Children’s Home and made similar donations to them.

The chief executive officer of Ashan Children’s Home, Nana Boafo Konadu Yiadom, commended the continuous support of Golden Tulip Kumasi City  and called on the  government and philanthropists not to neglect the homes but to help sustain the lives of those vulnerable children who, through no fault of theirs, found themselves in that state.

Other homes  visited included SOS Children’s Village in Kumasi and Remar Institute. The Director of the Kumasi SOS Children’s Village, Mr Eric Osa Laate, said “we appreciate your kind gesture and your continuous support to the well-being of the home.  We hope our relationship with you will grow stronger, and I seize this opportunity to encourage you to inform other institutions to turn to the needs of children and the less privileged.”
