Accra, Nov. 27, - The Special Mothers Project, an advocacy and
awareness creation programme on cerebral palsy has donated items and an
unspecified amount of money to Ms Golda Nunoo, mother of four children with
special needs.
The items were; detergents, bags
of rice, diapers and other toiletries.
The donation was done over the
weekend to coincide with the meeting of the Special Mother group where members
shared words of encouragement and demonstrated love towards Ms Nunoo and her
children.
Ms Nunoo, made an attempt to take
her life and the life of three of her children when a neighbour slandered her
that she had given birth to “mad children” but for the intervention of Ms Linda
Clarke, a member of the Special Mothers group.
In response to the love shown her
by the Special Mothers Group, Ms Nunoo said it was well with her soul.
Mrs Hannah Awadzi, Executive
Director of the Special Mothers Project who presented the items to Ms Nunoo
said, society should look for ways to enhance the lives of parents of children
with special needs.
“These parents are already going
through a lot and the least we could do for them as a society is to show them
love and kindness,” she said.
Mrs Awadzi called on government
to implement policies that would enhance the lives of children with cerebral
palsy and their families.
