MOGA DONATES TO SALTPOND HOSPITAL (SPREAD, AUGUST 7, 2010)

The Mfantsiman Old Girls’ Association (MOGA) has presented items worth GH¢ 6,000.00 to the Saltpond Government Hospital as part of its 50th anniversary celebration.
The items include curtains, bedsheets, food items and toiletries.
The group, who were accompanied by some students and staff, also cleaned the compound of the hospital.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic after the presentation, the President of MOGA, Mrs Matilda Attoh Brehun, said their token was to give back to society and those who have in diverse ways contributed to the growth of the school.
She commended the staff of the hospital for the efficient and effective healthcare services rendered to the students of the school since its establishment.
She expressed the hope that the close relationship between the school and the staff of the hospital would continue to blossom for their mutual benefit.
The Headmistress of the Mfantsiman Girls’ Senior High School, Madam Charlotte Addo, who is also an old girl, said the presentation formed part of its social responsibility to the school’s community.
Madam Addo said it was also to show appreciation for the services rendered to the students, saying at one time, at least all or most of the students attended the hospital for medical care whilst at school.
She thanked the staff and commended them for their dedication and devotion to duty.
The matron of the hospital, Madam Mercy Charway, who received the items thanked the school and the old students for the gesture and said the donation would go along way in helping the hospital to meet some of its needs.
Highlights of the programme to mark the celebrations include election of new officers for MOGA, bonfire, inauguration of projects and a durbar to honour the chiefs of the Nkusukum Traditional Area today, August 7, 2010 at the Victoria Park, Saltpond for releasing land for the establishment of the school.
