In a heartwarming display of compassion and generosity, the 2004 year group of the Old Mawuli Students Union (OMSU 2004) has donated essential food items and clothing to the Ho Leprosarium, a rehabilitation center for persons affected by leprosy.
The donation, which included bags of maize, rice, beans, gari, and sugar, as well as clothing and toiletries, aims to alleviate the daily challenges faced by the residents of the leprosarium.
This charitable act is part of the group’s 20th-anniversary celebrations, demonstrating their commitment to giving back to society.
According to the President of the OMSU 2004 year group, Eli Ampim, “As we mark this significant milestone, we wanted to share our blessings with those in need. The Ho Leprosarium is a symbol of hope and resilience, and we are honored to be able to contribute to the well-being of its residents.”
The donation was received by the Administrator of the Ho Leprosarium, Mr. Nelson Atito, who expressed deep gratitude to the OMSU 2004 year group. “We are thankful for this generous donation, which will go a long way in supporting the daily needs of our residents. Your kindness is a testament to the impact that individuals and groups can have on their communities.”
He also acknowledged that this is the second visit by the year group in a decade, as a similar gesture was received in October 2014.
The OMSU 2004 year group’s visit to the Ho Leprosarium was marked by a sense of camaraderie and shared humanity. Members of the group interacted with the residents, listening to their stories and experiences, and offering words of encouragement and support.
This charitable gesture by the OMSU 2004 year group serves as a shining example of the positive impact that alumni can have on their communities.
As they celebrate their 20th anniversary, their selfless act will have a lasting impact on the lives of the residents of the Ho Leprosarium.
