I stand by my promise to help the disabled - Borngreat

The ‘lady with the holy swags’, Herty Borngreat, has restated her promise to help students of the Akropong School for the Blind.

Herty prior to her ‘Be My Guest’ music concert in September stated that part of the proceeds from the event would be used by her foundation to support the school.

She explained that her management, Borngreat Music Productions, had already ordered a set of musical instruments from Germany for the Akropong School for the Blind and that the presentation would be made when they arrive.

“This was a public promise I made as a Christian so I cannot run away from it.

I love music. I love the way the students there love music, and I would certainly do this to support them.

I don’t like talking about my charity projects.

It is not my style but you seem to be holding me to task, and that is why I am telling you.

Else I would have just kept silent until the goods arrive,” Herty explained.

Herty, however, refused to give details of several other charitable donations her foundation had made and explained that the best way to do charity was to do it in private.

The ‘Be My Guest’ concert was the first of its kind and organisers said it would become an annual event.

It came off at the Alisa Hotel and saw performances from veteran gospel musicians Mary Ghansah, Nobel Nketia and Tagoe Sisters.

Herty herself said she was utterly shocked at the massive attendance and the presence some of the country’s best gospel musicians.

In an interview with NEWS-ONE, the gospel artiste said she was mostly grateful to the veteran gospel musicians, Mary Ghansah, Nobel Nketia and Tagoe Sisters- and all her fans who contributed in making the day successful.

“I’m grateful to God almighty, my big brothers and sisters in this ministry and also to my fans for coming to the show.

I did not anticipate so much love and support. Thank you all,” Herty stated.
