Marshallans Donation

FRIENDS of the Knights and Ladies of Marshall of the Adabraka Holy Spirit Cathedral have donated assorted items to the female ward of the Accra Psychiatric Hospital.
The items, worth GH¢2,000, included bed spreads, aluminium cooking utensils, disinfectants, bags of rice and toilet rolls.
The Noble Lady of Court 67, Sister Caroline Akakpo, who presented the items on behalf of the group, said the donation formed part of the association’s social responsibility.
She said the items were to supplement the needs of the ward and that the gesture was also part of its widow’s mite towards meeting the needs of the inmates.
The Senior Nursing Officer of the unit, Ms Edith Bonney, who received the items on behalf of the hospital, thanked the association for the gesture, which she said would go a long way to address the needs of the inmates of the hospital.
She asked members of the association to continue to support the hospital in order to improve upon the living standards of the less fortunate in society.
In a related development, the association organised mass for 15 sick and aged people of the church.
The Deputy Noble Lady, Mrs Elizabeth Bulley, told the Daily Graphic that the service was held yearly for people who could not leave their home to socialise with them and also present them with some awards.
According to her, the Ladies of Marshall visited the aged and the sick at home twice a year, that is, in March and December, to offer them charity.
