La Wuogon Muslim Trust donates to visually impaired

Accra, Feb. 11, GNA - The La-Wuogon Muslim Trust (LWMT), a non-profit organisation, has donated 20 voice recorders to visually impaired students of the University of Cape Coast to facilitate their learning process.

These recorders in addition to the brails would enable the students to access learning materials and listen to lectures at their free time.

Mr. Kamalrideen Ibn Farid Bagonluri, the Executive Director of the La-Wuogon Muslim Trust, during the presentation, said the organisation sought to provide basic education, vocational training with placement, skills training and career guidance to young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, hence the gesture.

Mr Hafiz Laryea, the President of Campus Volunteer Foundation-UCC, receiving the donation on behalf of the students, expressed gratitude to the LWMT for the support.

'These voice recorders will go a long way to enhance the educational life of our visually impaired colleagues,' he said.

'It is our hope that other organisations would also lend a hand when the need arises. We believe with our collective efforts, societies will get better.'

Ms Magdalene Dassah, a visually impaired student, expressed gratitude to LWMT for going to their aid and to Campus Volunteer Foundation for the help they are rendering to students.

LWMA projects bring together youths of different religious and ethnic background in efforts to overcome difficulties and celebrate bonds of unity.
