BGCF to train physically disabled persons in vocational skills

Kumasi, May 19, GNA - Bright Generation Community Foundation (BGCF), a Kumasi based non-governmental organization (NGO), has planned to train about 50 physically challenged in vocational skills, including tie and dye, bread making, hairdressing and dressmaking. This would help them to contribute meaningfully to the socio-economic development of the country. Ms. Bernice Dapaah, Chief Executive Officer of the NGO, announced these when she donated 10 wheel chairs valued at 1500 Dollars, on behalf of the organization, to 10 members of the Ghana Society of the Physically Disabled in Kumasi on Tuesday.

The NGO received the donation from the Free Wheel Chair Mission of the United States of America (USA). She said the NGO was committed to assisting the needy in society so that they would feel that they belonged to the society. Mr. Francis Amedor, Ashanti Regional Secretary of the Ghana Society of the Physically Disabled, who received the chairs, thanked the donors for the gesture. He hoped that the donation would enhance the living conditions of the beneficiaries and appealed to philanthropists, Churches and other organizations to come to the aid of the physically disabled persons.
