The event, held on September 12, brought together a team of dedicated healthcare professionals, including doctors, optometrists, nurses, and other health workers. They provided comprehensive health screenings to 98 registered individuals including staff and children at the Training Centre, addressing various health concerns and offering valuable health education.

In addition to the medical services, the Team also donated essential items to the school, including food, learning materials, footwear, clothing, toiletries, playing materials, and cash. These generous donations aimed to support the well-being and education of the students.

Furthermore, some members of Project Ghana, on seeing the physical challenges of the children at the centre promised linking the administration of Mephibosheth to some training organisations outside the country to enhance the skills and competence of the staff towards ensuring wholistic care and support for the children.

“This outreach strengthens our partnership with Mephibosheth Training Center, building upon our initial visit and reaffirming our commitment to the wellbeing and development of the children here”, said Dr. Emmanuel Boakye, President of AMC.
