The president of the African Paralympic Committee (AfPC) and the president of the National Paralympic Committee of Ghana, Samson Deen has donated food items to Paralympic federations and their athletes and urged them to stay focused and united during the month of Ramadan.

Representatives from five federations and various athlete reps from other sports federations, coming together during the holy month of Ramadan, showcased a powerful display of unity and collaboration within the Paralympic community as they joined the president to share gift items within Accra.

The donation was made at the premises of the African Paralympic Committee in Accra on Thursday morning, and the heads of the various federations were in attendance.

The Ghana Paralympic President donated consumables to the federations, including 100 bags of rice, 50 gallons of oil, 50 bags of sugar and salt, 50 tins of tomatoes, and other items to support their efforts.

The athletes, deeply moved by the AfPC president’s benevolence and charitable contribution, expressed their heartfelt thanks and assured him they would do their best to make the country proud, underscoring the profound impact of the donation on the recipients.

Representing the Wheel Chair Tennis team, Bridget Nartey, a wheelchair tennis player, also thanked Mr Samson Deen for the items they’ve received on behalf of all the para-athletes.

The General Secretary of the NPC-Ghana, Henry Larbi, thanked the athletes for honouring the invitation and assured them that the donations would be taken to the other regions as well.

“We’re doing this for para-athletes in Accra, and we’ll extend beyond. Soon, we’ll be hoping to take it to the other regions, spreading ” the benefits and opportunities to a wider group of athletes,” he remarked, instilling a sense of hope and optimism about the Paralympic community’s growth.
