THE West Gate Chapter of the Full Gospel Businessmen Fellowship at the weekend donated items worth GH¢1,100 as its support towards the upkeep of the inmates of the Accra Psychiatric Hospital.
The items which include a giant water tank, bags of rice, cooking oil, toiletries, among others, formed part of activities to mark the chapter’s second anniversary.
Presenting the items, the acting President of the fellowship, Mr Francis Owusu, said due to the call for support by the hospital, members of the fellowship deemed it wise to contribute their widow’s mite towards the upkeep of the inmates.
He said the fellowship had intended to adopt the hospital so as to make annual allocations to support it.
He also expressed the hope that other Christian fellowships would emulate the example of the West Gate Chapter, since that was one of the best ways to demonstrate their true love for Christ Jesus.
Dr Akwasi Osei, Director of the hospital, expressed appreciation of the hospital and the inmates for the gesture.
He mentioned in particular, the giant water tank and said with the unstable water flow in the city, the hospital would now be able to store some water any time it flowed.
