NGO OFFERS FREE MEDICAL CARE AT KADJEBI (PAGE 23)

AN American-based non-governmental organisation (NGO), Storehouse for Jesus, has organised a five-day free medical care for the people of Kadjebi in the Volta Region.
The group comprising two physicians, two surgeons and 15 missionaries, were led by Mrs Marie Collins, the Executive Director of the NGO.
The diseases that were identified and treated included hernia, malaria, arthritis, breast cancer, fevers and eye diseases.
According to Mr Michael Asante, the Executive Director of the Ghana branch of the NGO, it was the third time that the foreign NGO had rendered such a service in Ghana.
He said during the NGO’s first visit to the country, it operated at Kadjebi and Anum in the Eastern Region.
Mr Asante said the NGO had offered scholarships to 28 children from the Volta, Eastern and Greater Accra regions who were pursuing education from primary to tertiary institutions.
He said the NGO was establishing a library at Asato while Moringa seedlings were being distributed to households for planting.
