BY: Gideon Kwame Adu
Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul is a Roman Catholic religious congregation that ministers in healthcare, education, social ministry, prisons, with the homeless, abandoned children, parish ministry, ministry with immigrants, children and families, human trafficking and any need in the service of those who are poor.
The Catholic Education Unit, in partnership with the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul congregation, distributed educational and health materials to schools and the diocesan health directorate in Logre, in the Nabdam District of the Navrongo-Bolgatanga Diocese in the Upper East Region.
Speaking with URA Radio, Rev. Sister Bernardine Pemii, Regional Manager of the Catholic Education Unit in the Upper East and North East Regions, stated that the majority of the schools in the regions are extremely impoverished in the various communities. She oversees 364 schools, the majority of which are in a deplorable state, which influences her decision to ask for assistance from her congregation.
Noeline is an Irish who has long supported the congregation. With these distributions, the Irish philanthropists Mr. Connor and Noeline have helped the congregation by providing educational and health resources to be shared with the local people.
As a Catholic unit, they will always be complimentary, but the government of the day must also make every effort to provide for the communities. She continued by expressing concern about the fact that the majority of schools still teach or write on belly. She continued by saying that their unit will always focus on the poorest institutions and provide support.
In his remarks, Most Rev. Bishop Alfred Agyentah, the Bishop of the Navrongo-Bolgatanga Diocese, also mentioned how difficult it is for the region’s health and education systems to function, and he praised Rev. Sisther Bernardine Pemii for her efforts in distributing these health and educational resources. He once more expresses his gratitude to the donors for their ongoing assistance to the dioceses. He urged all recipients once more to adopt a maintenance mindset so they could preserve and use the things carefully.
As a token of gratitude, the diocesan health directorate, educational directorate, and a few community members expressed their happiness and thanks for the congregation’s efforts, noting that all the products will be used with care. Library books, sporting kits, sewing machines, tables, seats, sanitary pads, dustbins, wheelchairs, walking aids, gloves, nose masks, and other health supplies are among the donated items.
In total 27 schools, 13 health facilities, 2 parents, 20 local managers in the Nabdam District including the health and educational Directorates benefited in this materials.
