In a touching display of compassion, the Children’s Ministry Office of the Methodist Church Ghana, Accra Diocese, has made a heartfelt donation of essential items to the Children’s Cancer Ward at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
This annual gesture of support aims to bring hope and comfort to the young patients and their families.
In a short address, Rev. Joshua Nii Amugi Quicoe, the Children’s Service Coordinator for the Accra Diocese, urged parents to take better care of their children and embrace their responsibilities.
He shared an emotional message about the importance of nurturing and protecting children, stressing that it is heartbreaking to see children abandoned after parents pray fervently for the blessing of a child.
“It is painful to witness situations where people, after struggling for years to conceive and praying to God for a child, end up neglecting or abandoning that same child,”
Rev. Quaicoe added, “Parents must remember that caring for a child is not just a privilege, but a sacred responsibility.”
He emphasized that this act of charity, which the Children’s Ministry carries out every year, is a small way of showing love and solidarity with the sick children at Korle Bu and their families.
“We must all take collective responsibility for the welfare of our children, as they are the future of our nation,” he said.
On behalf of the Children’s Cancer Ward at Korle Bu, Diana Anim Agyemang, a nurse at the Child Health Department, expressed her sincere gratitude for the donation.
She acknowledged that such gestures of kindness are not only a source of relief for the children but also a reminder of the kindness and compassion that the community has for those in need.
“We are deeply grateful for the support and care that the Methodist Church Ghana continues to show towards the children in our ward.
