Mr Samuel Quansah Quarcoo, a philanthropist based in the United States and friends has donated items worth thousands of dollars to WESTSIDE SCHOOL at Ablekuma in Accra, some of the items donated were; shoes, school bags, maths sets, textbooks, notebooks, boxes of A4 sheets, pens, pencils, toothbrush and paste, liquid soaps, sanitizers and many more.
Speaking at the presentation ceremony in Accra, Mr Quarcoo said the donation was his contribution to support the students and also to encourage them to study well. Mr Quarcoo said the initiative was borne out of his genuine love for charity and eagerness to alleviate the plights of the less privileged.
He added that he wanted to inculcate into the children the act of kindness so that whenever they are blessed with enough, they could also emulate the act of giving to support the underprivileged.
The philanthropist who has been embarking on such charity works for some years now said he found fulfilment in giving back to society to ameliorate the plight of the vulnerable and the underprivileged. “I love to give back to society, especially to the needy because that is what gives me gratification,” he said.
Mr Quarcoo expressed profound gratitude to his well-wishers in the US who had been supporting his philanthropic work. The Leadership, Staff and the students of WESTSIDE SCHOOL showed their appreciation and gratitude to Mr Quarcoo and his friends and promised to put into good use the items donated to them.
