Mr Solomon Boateng, a philanthropist and the Director of the Foundation, which operates an orphanage home, said good health and quality education are essential to nation building.<\/p>\n
He said his NGO has constructed classroom blocks and renovated several other structures in different communities.<\/p>\n
In addition, he said, many local communities have also benefited from mechanised boreholes.<\/p>\n
Mr Boateng said very soon the NGO would construct modern disabled care centre at Nsoatre to provide skills training to people with disabilities in the area.<\/p>\n

Mrs Eva Aryee, the Sunyani West District Director of Health, receiving the items, thanked the Foundation for the gesture saying they would be used for the stated purpose.<\/p>\n
She urged the public to promote environmental cleanliness to control the outbreak of communicable diseases.<\/p>\n
Mrs Aryee also advised pregnant women to attend antenatal clinics at regular intervals and also sleep under mosquito treated nets.<\/p>\n
Mr Martin Obeng, the Sunyani West District Chief Executive, appealed to the NGO to support the district in its effort to build a hospital.<\/p>\n
