Belgium-based couple fetes over 200 orphans

Kumasi, Jan 15, GNA - A Belgium-based couple, Mr and Mrs Oheneba Agyemang, has feted over 200 orphans at the King Jesus Charity Home at Boadi near Kumasi.

The children were given food of their choice amid dancing, poetry recital, drama and fun games.

He said they have adopted orphanages at Boadi, Agroyesum in Ashanti, Adenta and Bawjiase in the Greater and Central regions. Oheneba Owusu-Agyemang commended the founder of the home for his foresight that had improved the lives of the children and pledged to continue to support the home.
