There were tears, smiles, and heartfelt gratitude as children from Up and Shine Foundation Academy paid a touching visit to the Obra Show on Nhyira FM and Adom TV to express appreciation for the love and support shown to them during the Nhyira Abodoo charity initiative.
The emotional moment unfolded live on radio and television when the children presented a bouquet and a citation to the Multimedia Group in recognition of their kindness and commitment to supporting vulnerable children living with disabilities. The presentation was received on behalf of the company by Ohemaa Benewaa, host of the Obra Show.
The children, many of whom have endured difficult and heartbreaking life experiences, were filled with joy as they returned to say “thank you” to the media organisation for sharing in their pain and bringing hope into their lives.
Speaking during the presentation, the founder and leader of the home, Pastor Richard Nii Amarte Y. Adesah, recounted the humble beginnings of the foundation. According to him, he single-handedly started the home out of compassion for disabled and abandoned children, taking them into his care and providing shelter in a rented apartment.
Pastor Adesah revealed that through the support and generosity of kind-hearted individuals and organisations, the foundation has now acquired a piece of land to build a permanent home that will better accommodate and care for the children.
He used the opportunity to commend the Obra Show and the Multimedia Group for their continuous support and dedication to humanitarian causes. He also expressed profound appreciation to everyone who has contributed in diverse ways toward the growth and survival of the foundation.
“These children have touching stories, but today they are smiling because people chose to stand with them in love and kindness,” he said emotionally.
The ceremony served as a powerful reminder of the impact compassion and collective support can have on the lives of vulnerable children, giving them not only shelter and care but also renewed hope for the future.
