The Catholic Diocese of Ho has extended a helping hand to flood victims at Mepe in the North Tongu District of the Volta Region.
The donation forms part of the church’s corporal works of mercy to support the needy.
Vicar General of the Ho Diocese, Very Rev. Fr. Walter Mawusi Agbetoh stated that the items donated were from the Parishioners and well-wishers of the Diocese.
He indicated that the Diocese launched an appeal to solicit relief items from the faithful. Items donated included over 200 bags of rice, Toiletries, clothing and an undisclosed amount of money to over 200 victims.
Fr Agbetoh explained that the Diocese decided to distribute relief items to the disaster victims at this time because the general public has largely forgotten about their suffering and many of the victims are still struggling to return to normal life.
The Assembly Member for Mepe Electoral Area, Amos Ahorsu Borlor expressed his gratitude on behalf of flood victims to the Diocese for the kind gesture.
He indicated that the flooding had caused severe damage to properties running into millions.
He further called on benevolent organisations and churches to support the victims of the flooding.
The delegation was led by the Vicar General of the Diocese, Very Rev Fr Walter Mawusi Agbetoh, the Cathedral Administrator, Very Rev Fr Isaac Benuyenah, the Diocesan Financial Administrator and his Assistant Rev. Fr David Dodzi Zatey and Rev. Fr Godwin Eli Pasah, Director of Social Communications, Rev. Fr Samuel Eco Kornu and some youth from the Sacred Heart Cathedral Ho Bankoe.
