The Odorkor Youth Ministry of the Apostle's Continuation Church International has donated [some] valuable items to the Royal Seed Home located at Kow Bondzi, a rural suburb near Kasoa in the Central Region of Ghana. The exercise which took place today at the latter's premises formed part of the church's commitment in giving back to the society. Led by Esther Appiah who is the Youth Organiser, items ranging from Foodstuff, Detergents, Sanitaries, Clothes and foot wears were donated to the Orphanage. The group cited instances of how students at the Tertiary face challenges during their stay on campus. Therefore, it becomes necessary and advisable enough to reach out to such people with effective counselling and support.

Usually, I encourage my colleagues on and off campus to embrace certain opportunities while in school. One of such opportunities is to partake in series of extra curricular activities which is highly evident and practicable on 'the soil of GIJ.' Speaking from an angle of self-experience, I can confidently applaud Mr. Ken-Awuku, Mr. Henry Owu, Mr. George Asamoah, Dr. Wilberforce Dzisah and other hard-working lecturers from the Ghana Institute of Journalism who do well to task their students to embark on important class projects. So, I drove all the way from Sunyani to Accra somewhere in 2016 without knowing the basics nor snippets of these fields, but thankfully, I'm okay now.
