THE Gbi Traditional Council in the Volta Region has installed five development chiefs for three communities in Hohoe.
The communities are Kitikpa, Akpatanu and Segbedeme.
Kitikpa has three development chiefs. They are Mr Stephen Joseph Carrico and his wife Mrs Collen Claire Carrico from the USA who were installed under the stool names of Togbe Dunyo and Mama Dezor and Mrs Indy Adam, an Australian businesswoman as Mama Asiwome.
Segbedeme has Mrs Ellen Carly Martin, an American teacher as Mama Awoenam, whilst Akpatanu has Mrs Jennifer Millet Barret, a Social worker from USA as Mama Dziwornu.
The honour was bestowed on them for various contributions made to the three communities.
They are also the patrons of the local non-governmental organisation (NGO), Christian Orphanage and they contributed a lot towards the upkeep of the children and also registered about 200 children under the National Health Insurance Scheme.
They have also donated sports kits to the Kitikpa community football team.
In an address read on behalf of Togbega Gabusu VI, Paramount Chief of the Gbi Traditional Area, he said the traditional council bestowed the honour on the five for their contributions to the development of the three communities.
He said the honour would motivate them to do more for their adopted homes.
Togbega Gabusu, commended them and asked them to go a step further in their efforts to promote education in the area.
Mr Nicholas Victus Kwaku Abibu, Founder and Director of the Christian Orphanage, said the orphanage had come to stay due to the breakdown of the extended family system in the society.
He urged the people to see the orphanage as their own and contribute to its success.
