Gospel musician, Bernard Amankwah, on Saturday, January 9 donated items worth GHC15, 000 to the Osu Children’s Home in support of the Home’s school music project.

The items included three keyboards, speakers, a powered mixer, cordless microphones and a set of drums.

He also gave the children boxes of mineral water, detergents, sanitary pads, Bibles and evangelism tracts.

Making the donation, the Presence singer said ‘’most people make donations to orphanages with just the basic needs of the children in terms of food in mind, neglecting their spiritual needs.

“And just as every church sees it fit to get sound equipment and instruments to enhance their service, these little ones also deserve to praise God with instruments and sounds’”, he added.

Bernard Amankwah explained that he also brought Bibles for the children because he believes that just as his reliance on the word of God transformed his life, their lives will also be transformed and will be full of hope if they relied on it.

‘‘I could have easily ended up on the streets if not for God because I was raised by a single parent, my mum. She could have also run and left me behind. So if I did not end up that way, why not give to society and put smiles on the faces of others’’, he said.

Receiving the items, Ms Christiana Addo, Manageress of the Osu Children’s Home, thanked Bernard Amankwah for his benevolence and promised the items will be used for the intended purpose.
