Kumasi April 23, GNA – The Alumni of the Jacobs-Abbey Global Institute for Leadership Studies (JAGILS) has reached out to the inmates of the Cherubs Children’s Home at Santasi-Apire in the Kumasi Metropolis of the Ashanti Region.
In partnership with the Rolla Foundation, JAGILS Ghana Campus, and the Inspirers Alumni, the group deliberately visited the Children’s Home during the Easter festivity to reignite hope in the children.
The partners donated educational materials such as the Wise Ant and Golden publication textbooks for basic school level, from Nursery to Junior High School.
Also added were some assorted stationeries such as pens, pencils, notebooks, exercise books, sketch pads, graph books, erasers, rulers, mathematical sets, markers, and art supplies, among others.
Additionally, the Alumni of the JAGILS donated children’s clothes in various sizes to be shared among the inmates in the Children’s Home.
Mrs Vida Osei-Agyemang Naab, the Coordinator of the JAGILS Ghana Campus, who led the delegation, said the charitable initiative formed part of the corporate social responsibility efforts of the JAGILS.
She noted that the initiative also replicated the commitment of the JAGILS to transform learners into leaders who gave back to society and supported vulnerable communities.
Mrs Naab believed that the benevolent act by the JAGILS would instil the values of compassion, responsibility, and leadership through service in the beneficiaries.
“At JAGILS, we believe that education goes beyond the four corners of a classroom.
Supporting Cherubs Children’s Home is a practical way of showing that true leadership begins with selfless acts that uplift others,” she said.
Mrs Naab acknowledged the support from the broader JAGILS community including the Board of Trustees, Advisory Council, the faculty, management, students, and others, who contributed to the initiative.
