iHope, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) has presented food and items, worth GHC2, 500.00 to students and staff of the Dzorwulu Special school in Accra.

The items comprised bags of rice, maize, and varieties of fruit juices, gallons of oil, biscuits, mattresses and some detergents.

Miss Jennifer Kumi Danso and Nana Kwabena Akufo-Owoo, Co-founders of iHope, said the NGO was established to support the marginalised in society.

Nana Akufo-Owoo explained that as part of its autism project, the organisation intended to undertake an outreach programme to identify, adopt and support under-privileged orphanages and special schools in the country.

Mr Frederick Tetteh, Assistant Headmaster of the Dzorwulu Special School, thanked the donors for the gesture and appealed to other organisations to assist in the upbringing of the 160 students, made up of 86 boys and 74 girls.

He mentioned instructional and learning materials and expansion of infrastructural base, as some of the immediate needs of the school.
