    Welcome to Ghana Mr. Gates. The children of the world thank you for the work you and others are doing to improve their health. Thank you.

  • AARDVARK 12 years ago

    Good work, Mr Gates. It is Ghana's continuing responsibility to ensure that the vaccination programme is effective, and that we do not allow it to be disrupted by people whose priority is not the well being of kids.

  • SHALOM 12 years ago

    The government needs to do more to reciprocate the good guesture of Mr.Gates for our children. If monnies meant for health delivery are misused no international philanthropist will take us serious. Today we are hailling Bill ...

    It doesn't require Mr Gates' assistance to dig a latrine. Even cats bury their excrement.

    After helping you to eradicate vaccine preventable diseases, you want him to eradicate malaria. Tell the government to close the gutters in Accra, improve sanitation and the malaria will go. Do not be greedy.

    THERE IS SIMPLY NO SENSIBLE LEADER IN GHANA. THEY ARE ALL FOR THEIR STOMACHS AND THEIR FAMILIES. BILL GATES MONEY WILL BE MISUSED FOR PETTY REASONS LIKE TEA, FUNERALS ETC. I WISH WE STOP FEEDING THESE GANGSTAR POLITICIANS.
