As a philanthropist who has the aged at heart, Akosua Agyeiwaa High Tension who is also the host of Afisem on Atinka 104.7 decided to embark on the exercise to connect with the aged and put smiles on their faces.
She was of the belief that one does not need all the money in the world to give or to make an impact as far as extending care to someone.
According to her, one can give any other thing including time, love, or affection or even a smile to make someone feel loved.
She therefore encouraged all to give whatever they can to extend love to others, especially the aged.
“Money is not the only commodity that is fun to give. We can give time, we can give our expertise, we can give our love, or simply give a smile. What does that cost? The point is, none of us can ever run out of something worthwhile to give,” she stated.
The Weija inmates expressed excitement and gratitude to Akosua Agyeiwaa High Tension for the kind gesture.
