Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia celebrated his 60th birthday with children at Kumasi Children’s Home.
In lieu of his annual birthday lunch with cured lepers at his home in Accra, Dr Bawumia has also sent bags of rice and other items to the inmates of the Weija Leprosarium to help them celebrate his special day.
“Everyone needs some form of help, but in my opinion those with the most need are these children in orphanages, who are here through no fault of theirs
That’s why I chose to spend my birthday with the children in this Home, as I am here in Kumasi on my birthday,” he explained.
“Every year I spend my birthday with the vulnerable in society, so you can be sure that if God gives me life, this is not the last time you will see me or hear from me on my birthday,” Dr Bawumia pledged.
The Managress of the Kumasi Children’s Home, Mabel Amponsah expressed the appreciation of the almost 90 children at the institution, some with disabilities, noting that Dr Bawumia’s decision to spend his birthday with vulnerable and abandoned children is a clear indication of his love for humanity.
