Mrs. Bawumia joined Rev. Father Andrew Campbell, Omanihene Kyeame of Asante Juaben, and Nana Dr. Appiagyei Dankawoso I at the gathering to celebrate the occasion with the youngsters, many of whom are from disadvantaged families. As the Second Lady engaged with the youngsters and joined in the celebration, the event was a happy one, with smiles and laughter resonating throughout.
Sharing pictures from the visit on social media, Samira Bawumia expressed her appreciation for the chance to cheer up the kids and help with the heartfelt celebration. Being a part of this wonderful occasion is such a privilege. In her message, she stated that the real spirit of the season is to make these kids happy.
