Presenting the gifts, Atty. Dennis expressed LoneStar Cell MTN’s season greetings to the orphanages and also thanked the board, management and staff of MTN for giving Mobile Money Department the platform to identify with less fortunate folks in December.
“And we are very excited to celebrate this with you,” she told recipients at the orphanages.
Earlier in opening remarks, Mobile Money Channel and Development Specialist Mr. William Saysay indicated that the gesture is not just LoneStar Cell MTN’s corporate social responsibility, but it’s more of a human nature of identifying with people that are in need.
The orphanages expressed appreciation to LoneStar Cell MTN for the donation, and wished more blessings upon the company.
Antoinette Tubman Cheshire Supervisor Mr. Jonah Y. Dolakeh says the orphanage looks out to see people in the society to be a blessing to the orphans.
According to him the orphanage takes care of people with multiple disabilities and many of them were abandoned by their parents.
He expresses thanks to LoneStar Cell MTN for all the donations, especially the pampers because eight of the twelve residents at the orphanage use pampers on a daily basis.
Mr. Dolakeh says the orphanage is very grateful also for the generator donated because they have been in darkness since the meter for their power line was stolen.
