Boy 12 suffering from brain tumour receives help

Tema, Sept 04, GNA - Safebond Africa Limited, a shorehandling operator in Tema has presented a cheque in the sum of GH¢ 7,100 to TV3 Network for the payment of medical bills of a 12-yaer-old boy suffering from brain tumour. As a result of the brain tumour, Master Robert Amoah's life has come to a standstill as he can not learn or play. TV3 in its morning news on Thursday August 28, pleaded with the public to contribute towards Amoah's surgical operations at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital due to the inability of his parents to provide the GH¢ 5,000 medical fee.

Mr Isaac Kodom, Deputy Managing Director for Safebond, presenting the cheque said the donation was to cover the medical bills and maintenance of the boy. Mr Kodom said apart from being touched by Amoah's pain and suffering, the gesture was in line with the company's social responsibility on health with the theme "Safebond Africa, your friend in health delivery". He was optimistic that the donation would make Amoah know that "there is love and hope in the world and there something to live for". Mr Godfred Boakye Djan, Tema correspondent for TV3 receiving the cheque on behalf of the boy thanked Safebond and expressed the hope that it would help improve the boy's deteriorating situation. 4 Sept. 08
