Story by: Bilal A. Ahmed (Ishaat, Akim Oda Zone)
The Akim Oda Zone Majlis through the office of Khidmat-e-Khalq embarked on a donation exercise on August 1st, 2021 at Osenase Orphanage, near Asamankese in the Eastern Region. The orphanage has twenty (20) wards, with three (3) in university, two (2) in vocational institutions, four (4) in secondary school, and the remaining at various levels of basic/primary school.
The Majlis delegation composed of some members of the Zonal Amila along with the Zonal Missionary (also a khaddim) led the presentation of the gifts which included food items (such as bags of rice, cooking oil, packs of soft drinks, etc), some pairs of slippers, toiletries (gallons of hand sanitizer, boxes of soap, tissue paper, etc), some copies of Review of Religions and a cash amount of One thousand Ghana Cedis (GH¢ 1,000.00).
Making the presentation, the Nazim Khidmat-e-Khalq, Qaid Illaqa, and the Zonal Missionary took turns to appeal to the children to be humble and obedient to their elders. They also encouraged the caretakers to have patience with their wards as the job can be demanding and overwhelming but assured them of the abundance of blessings in such an endeavor they have undertaken.
The management of the orphanage received the donations and expressed immense gratitude to the Majlis and prayed to be included in future exercises of such nature.
The whole exercise was a success Alhamdulillah.
