The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Ellembelle, Mr.Daniel Eshun also donated GH¢100 to assist the home, and pledged the Assembly's monthly support towards the growth of the home.

The Pastor in charge of the church and founder of the home, Mr.Paul Mukey, expressed gratitude to Mr.Buah and the Assembly for their humanitarian gesture.

He said the works of Mr. Buah amply testified that, he was all out to serve the people and asked the church and people in the area to continue to pray for him to continue with his proven leadership skills.

In another development, Mr. Buah also donated GH¢200 to the Ebenezer Methodist Church at Awiebo at the climax of a-three-day youth programme, where he advised the youth to study hard and take the future into their own hands.

The Minister in charge of the Youth Fellowship, Mr. Philip Dodo urged the youth to be ready to make a difference in life in all circumstances.**
