Diocesan priests in Ghana donate ₵100K to fund plastic surgery for 9-year-old burns victim

The National Union of Ghana Catholic Diocesan Priests’ Associations (NUGCDPA) has donated a generous GHS 100,000 to assist 9-year-old Victoria Atsoribo in undergoing plastic surgery at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

The donation was made possible by the collective contributions of Diocesan priests in Ghana, each donating at least 100 cedis towards the cause.

Leading the donation on behalf of the NUGCDPA was Rev. Fr. Henry Cafuie Ahorlu, President of the Accra Archdiocesan Priests’ Association. He was accompanied by other prominent figures, including the Union’s PRO, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Obeng Codjoe, Catholic Chaplain at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Rev. Fr. Michael Apaloo, and Rev. Fr. Carl Kwao-Agboado of the Catholic Diocese of Ho.

The donation follows a call to action by Rev. Fr. Thaddeus Kuusah, President of the Union, who made an appeal to fellow priests. His appeal was met with an overwhelming response from priests and lay faithful alike, with many individuals contributing to help raise the funds necessary for the surgery.
