Mr. Chairman
Distinguished Invited Guests
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Media
There comes a time in human life where others must show concern for the needs of their fellow human beings.
National disasters are not peculiar to only one community. These are common phenomena all over the world. We do recall the recent cyclone that hit Myanmar and claimed thousands of precious lives.
We are aware that our brothers and sisters in the Northern part of Ghana were also affected by floods last year which also resulted in deaths and displacing many others. Peoples livelihood was also seriously affected.
It is in this vein that the National Council of Ghanaian Association in New York have decided to contribute our widows mite to help alleviate the suffering of our brothers and sisters in the north.
“I Nana Kofi Amponsah, the Asantefohene of New York have the honour to present this amount of GH¢ 5000 on behalf of the Association to the Northern Relief Fund.
It is our hope that this money would be put into good use to help improve the lives of our affected brothers and sisters.
This is an expression of our concern for the deer people of our nation Ghana.
We pray that the Almighty God would spear our country any such unpleasant situations.
