In a practical demonstration of Christian love and community support, the Senya Beraku District Minister in the Winneba Area of The Church of Pentecost, Pastor Eric Owusu, and his family have donated 82 school uniforms to pupils of AME Zion A and B, and D/A ‘A’ Basic Schools at Senya Beraku in the Awutu Senya District of the Central Region.
Forty-two uniforms were given to pupils of AME Zion A and B, while 40 went to D/A “A,” totaling GH¢7,690.
The gesture, which was part of their commitment to the ‘Possessing the Nations’ agenda of The Church of Pentecost, was inspired by the wife of the pastor, Mrs Esther Owusu, a teacher at AME Zion A. She observed some pupils attending school in worn-out uniforms or casual home clothes. Moved by their situation, she shared her concern with her husband, leading to this compassionate act of support.
Headteachers of the beneficiary schools expressed immense gratitude to the couple, describing the intervention as timely and uplifting. They noted that the donation would not only ease the financial burden on parents but also enhance the confidence and morale of the pupils.
They further commended Pastor Owusu and his family for their exemplary kindness and urged other individuals and organisations to emulate their generosity.
During the presentation, pupils and staff offered prayers and words of appreciation for the family’s benevolence. Representatives took turns expressing heartfelt gratitude, acknowledging the impact of such an act of kindness.
In a brief address, Pastor Owusu shared the motivation behind their gesture: ‘It is a way of motivating and encouraging these young ones to know and believe that they are not alone in their academic journey. We hope this support inspires them to study hard and aim high.’
The donation event was attended by pupils, teachers, and church officers, who witnessed the profound impact of this simple yet significant act of care and support.
