S/R: Wipe Away Foundation intervened for disabled Asana in Yapei, foundation launched

Wipe Away Foundation, a charitable non for profit organization based in the Savannah Region of Ghana has handed over a provision shop stocked with several items to a disabled Asana in Yapei. Asana is a fifteen year old girl who has the desire of pursing her education to realize her dream of becoming a teacher but lack of resources has taken her onto the street to beg before going to school. She sits in the scorching sun, attend school late, close school early than her colleagues and risk her life on the dangerous Yapei-Tamale Highway just to be on the street to beg for her upkeeps.
Executive director of Wipe Away Foundation, Mr. Mufti Habibu Borejinkpr cataloged a series of interventions the foundation has undertaken so far including a successful surgery of one Mohammed Kweku who was battling with a cancerous tumor in the lower jaw in the Bole District. He said it is not necessarily to be a chief, politician, rich before one could offer help to the needy but the burning desire and commitment will make the difference. The founder bemoaned how society has turned to worship the dead more than the sick. To him, it is hypocritical to mass up at the funeral home of the dead but refuse to offer support when such a person was on earth. According to him WipeAway Foundation will use this same numbers that gathered at funerals to find healing for the sick people just to avoid the crowd.
At a colorful ceremony to hand over the provision shop to Asana, Wipe Away Foundation was officially launched with a call on the general public to support the foundation to execute its role of helping the less privileged people in the society.
Special guest of honor and spokesperson for former President John Dramani Mahama Madam Joyce Bawa Mogtari appealed to the people to be each others keepers. She said the intervention of WipeAway Foundation is to inform stakeholders in the region that it's all by actions and not words. She used the occasion to appeal for support for the foundation.
Speaking at the same event, the Savannah Regional Coordinating Council Director Alhaji Mohammed Adam eulogized the activities of Wipe Away Foundation for their humanitarian gesture. He pledged the coordinating council’s commitment of the coordinating council are open to every body who will want to develop the region.
