By Kum Seraphine Sangha

The children of God First Orphanage in the Wotutu-Bojongo Court Area have  on Saturday July 15 blessed with gifts from one of the leading cable network distributors in the country, Canal +.

This kind gesture which comprised renovating the sitting room of these orphans and buying of a flat screen television with Canal + cable network installed is going to be of great value to the children who can now watch different cartoons just the way kids love to.

Presenting the gift to the manager of the orphanage, the Communication Officer Ndje Hemle K. Jeannette explained that, “this is a social action initiative program taken by Canal + Impact, to extend their goodwilland solidarity and this time around, they chose to be with the God First Orphanage in Wotutu”.


For his part, the Canal + Representative for the South West Region Ketcher Henry said Canal + Impact visited Limbe to give to the less privilege and make them know that Canal + is also having them in mind and not just doing business. He also confirmed that they also visit schools and are in Limbe to make the children happy and comfortable and know that even as they grow in life, Canal + is here for them, to support them.

Receiving the gifts on behalf of the children, the Director of God First Orphanage Mme. Ameg Quinta Teboh expressed her gratitude for the beautiful gifts. “I am so happy today for this beautiful gift that Canal + has given us. As you can see, they have really transformed the environment of God First Orphanage. What Canal + has done for us today is so big and from the deepest part of my heart, I pray may God Almighty bless them”.

She went further to describe how well designed and organised the place has become and that it will keep the children busy during this holiday. She admits how the television is going to impact the children’s life and they will not just be running about playing in the mud but can now stay indoors because they have something that’s going to comfort them.

Speaking to reporters at the end of the ceremony,Ebot Prince Teboh and Itoe Lorena amongst other beneficiaries expressed their joy as they rained blessings on their benefactor. The joy and excitement on the faces of these children was very visible as they said they shall never forget this goodwill gesture.

It should be noted that Canal + asides renovating the children’s sitting room, buying them a flat screen television and installing especially cartoon channels for these orphans, also donated food items like, school bags, butter, vegetable cooking oil, laundry soap and toiletries.

The Director of the orphanage also solicited for more help as she showcased some of the products that they produce like liquid laundry soap, vinegar and bleaching agent amongst others but needs funds to produce in larger quantities so that they can sell to a larger market and raise more funds for their sustainability.

The ceremony which ended on a positive note also recorded musical displays, sketches, poem presentation amongst others. The event was attended by a team of representatives from Canal +, traditional rulers, clergy men and people of goowill.
