He said every year, his NGO organises Christmas parties for the inmates of the all the 27 associate orphanages so that they would also have the feel of the festivities and not felt left out.

He called on all Ghanaians to help make lives of orphans in the country joyous by being concerned about their well-being and most importantly supporting them both in cash and in kind.
