The Eastern Regional executives of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have donated GHc20,000 to a woman in need of treatment for a brain tumor.
Amoako Sarah Boateng, a 22-year-old student of the Presbyterian Women College of Education (PWCE), lost her left eye in October 2018 and is in danger of losing her right eye.
After a series of medical examinations, Sarah was diagnosed in April 2019 with severe brain tumour believed to have been lingering for years.
Ms. Boateng, who aspires to be a teacher, has her family struggling to raise $15,000 within one month, in order for her to fly to India for surgery and other treatments.
The intervention of the Eastern Regional Executives of the NPP was something Sarah and her family have been fervently praying for.
Speaking to the students and management of the school, the Eastern Regional Secretary of the NPP, Jeff Konadu Addo stated that the executives were moved by the story of the student.
He further assured Sarah and her family of the party’s efforts to raise additional funds to enable her to go through the treatment within the limited time she has.
The Principal of PWCE, Dr. Harriet Naki Amui commended the Regional Executives for their swift intervention stating that this major contribution will open the flood gates for more of such donations.
The party’s delegation to the school included Hon. Jeff Konadu Addo (E/R Secretary), Jerry Osei-Poku (E/R Youth Organizer), Ben Kumi Larbi (E/R Treasurer), Hajia Fati Vondoli (E/R Women Organizer), Adamu Musa Raha (Dept. E/R NASARA Coordinator) and Charles Opoku (E/R TESCON Coordinator).
