Ajumako Bisease (C/R), May 25, GNA - The first Anglican Child Development Centre of the Saint Luke Anglican Church at Ajumako Bisease has started fish, vegetable and poultry farming to generate income to support the Centre. The Project Coordinator of the Centre, Mr Eugene Charles Kitson, said this at the first anniversary celebration of the Centre at Ajumako Bisease in the Central Region. The anniversary was under the theme: "Empowering today's child to use his God-given talent - How will it benefit the state and the church". He said some of the income from these projects would be used to acquire land for the construction of a school building for the 250 children between the ages of three and nine years at the Centre. Mr Kitson said the vision of the Centre is to develop the children holistically, to train them to become Christians, responsible adults and to empower them to use their God-given talents in the service of the church and society. Reverend Mrs Jemima Amanor, the Country Director of the Compassion International Ghana, said children were gift from God to parents and added "it is therefore their duty to train them well in a way that will make them to become useful future citizens to God and the society." She appealed to parents not to use bad language on their children because they could copy. Rev. Mrs Amanor urged parents to open bank accounts for their wards at the Centre so that after they get to age 20 when the programme had come to end, they could use that money to continue their education. As part of the activities planned, the 250 children and their parents were given health education on the causes, symptoms, prevention and treatment of the malaria disease. Mr Philip Asare Ankomah of the Centre was honoured for his hard work. Rev. Cannon Dr Cyril Ben-Smith, Vice Dean of the St Nicholas Seminary in Cape Coast, who chaired the function, advised parents to let their financial standing, determined the number of children they would have. He commended the Parish Priest, Rev. Father Myles Abaidoo, for his efforts at establishing the Centre.
