Members of the Future Life for the Disabled (FLD), a group of Persons Living with Disabilities, broke into singing on Wednesday in appreciation of a 20,000 Ghana cedis donation made to the group by NPP Presidential Candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo and Running Mate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.<\/p>\n
The donation was made to facilitate the completion of a training centre being put up by the group, but which had come to a standstill for years, after support dried up.<\/p>\n
Founder and Chairman of the group, Emmanuel Dzikunu, who received the donation, expressed profound gratitude to Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr. Bawumia for what he described as a life transforming gesture.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am so dumfounded today. I don\u2019t know the type of office I have not been into in Ghana. But sometimes you are not even given a chair to sit on but I went to this man (Dr. Bawumia) just three weeks ago, and we are already seeing results.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been moving around for the past two years but no support has come. We got to this stage in 2012 when our benefactor was no longer able to support us and since then no one has been able to support us again. I have been to several places including the Presidency but no one came. Sometimes you are not even welcomed with water\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n
