Class Media Group (CMG), as part of its
corporate social responsibility, has catered
for 300 widows in the Ashanti Region.
CMG, parent
company of Adehye99.1FM, Kumasi 104.1FM, and other media houses in Accra,
organised an event in Kumasi on Wednesday April 12, where the widows were
provided with food items such as bags of rice, eggs, non-alcoholic beverages,
sugar, milk, and sardines among others worth GHS 10,000.
Addressing
the gathering, family counsellor Albert Krampah charged the widows to take an
optimistic approach to life and be hopeful “in their maker because the good
Lord has not forsaken them though they might be living lonely lives”.
Manager for
Adehye99.1FM and Kumasi104.1FM, Rev Alex Ofei, appealed to the widows to
diligently cater for the children “that God has blessed them with, irrespective
of the circumstances they might be going through”.
He
challenged them to ensure their children receive good education since it is the
best legacy they can give to their offspring.
Madam
Felicia Asirifi Adutwumwaah Acheampong, a 94-year-old widow, was very grateful
that the firm embarked on such a gesture.
Ms
Acheampong, a victim of mild stroke whose husband died in her arms years ago
with seven children in her care, narrated her agony to Adehye FM’s Owoahene
Addai Mununkum.
She narrated
how she has been robbed of the “sweet times” she shared with her husband but
encouraged other widows to be strong in order to see to the proper training and
upkeep of kids they have to cater for.
She, on
behalf of the other widows, thanked CMG for the kind gesture.
