The founder of GCH who is also a fibre glass expert, Benedict Lamptey, explained that the feast forms part of the social responsibility of the organization to enable it give back to the needy and deprived children in the society.
According to him, children, are special in the sight of God, hence the need to give them the necessary support in all aspects of life.
“These children need a lot of support from some of us to reshape or organize their lives to become a better and useful to the society,” he stressed.
He expressed joy, happiness and inner satisfaction for seeing the children filled with excitement and goodness. He further expressed his eagerness to continue with such benevolent gestures to deprived children.
“I intend to continue to support the children and people in the area by providing social amenities like water since the area lacks potable water,” he again noted.
