McVities Company, producers of McVities biscuit, has donated 20 boxes of biscuit to the Osu children’s home in Accra.
The company has set the third Wednesday in November each year, to donate its products to some selected shelters, orphanages and special schools.
Making the presentation, the country representative for McVities, Patrick Osei, said the company is interested in making children happy hence the decision to support the facility with products worth GH¢4,000.
“As a company, for the last three years, we have come to a realization that many people around the world lack some form of happiness so the company has decided that for every third Wednesday in the month of November, we identify a home to make some donations to children to bring happiness to them. The day has been dubbed ‘Make happy, be happy day’, and is celebrated in all our operational countries that no matter where people live, everyone has the right to be a happy childhood,” he said.
He promised that the company will make more donations to other such institutions.
“McVitie’s promises happiness to the world with every bite, hence this gesture to these children at Osu children’s home. Happiness is contagious so together we can spread it far; wide and near. I believe that in December, we will visit three additional homes to make similar donations. We will repeat it here at Osu children’s home, Dzowulu special home and one children’s home at Bawjiase in the Central Region.”
Receiving the items, the mistress of the home, thanked the company for the kind gesture and said the support would go a long way to support the upkeep of the children.
