The foundation also seeks to alleviate stress and hunger allowing those in need to focus on education or learning a vocation and offer counselling and support to orphans and grant to orphanage owners or care givers so that they can provide adequate care and housing for those in care.
The Coordinator of Angel Smile Foundation, Mr. Ebenezer Adjei Adjetey called on all parents to be mindful of abusive words they use on their children whenever they are offended.
According to him most of the curses and abusive words tend to have a major impact on the children in the future which often makes lives difficult for them.
He added that children of this generation are difficult to handle and therefore the best a mother should do is to pray for his child whenever he or she misbehaves and not the use of curses and other abusive words.
This he said will help shape the life of every children to grow and become a better person in the future for the mother to reap the fruit of her labor when they grow up to become better persons.
The foundation paid the medical cost of a seventeen years old girl at the Korle-bu Maternity ward whose parents could not afford to pay for her treatment due to financial difficulties.
Staff at the La Poly clinic and Korle-bu Teaching Hospital on behalf of the women on admission expressed their profound gratitude and appreciation to Naa Ofamota Otsejen I for her unwavering support to women on Mother’s Day.
