The Rebecca Foundation has received GHC 100,000 support from Greenhouse International Development Ghana Limited, a Chinese group.

The donation was made on Saturday, April 6 at the launch of the 2019 Silk Road Language & Art Exhibition at the Confucius Institute, University of Ghana (UG).

It was made possible through the sale of paintings of six Chinese artists from the Chinese Behavioural Law Society.

A total of GHC 180,000 was realised from the sale of the paintings, with the remaining GHC 80,000 expected to go into other benevolent projects in Ghana.

The Silk Road Language & Art Exhibition seeks to promote cultural exchange between Ghana and China.

Ghana happens to be one of the first countries in Africa where the Silk Road Language & Art Exhibition is taking place.

Mrs Akufo-Addo, who received the donation on behalf of her foundation after helping to present certificates to the artists, thanked the society for the kind gesture.
