The Young Adults’ Fellowship (YAF) in partnership with Rev. Bettina Bender & Partners has donated solar powered lamps to some Church/ communities in the Sekyere Presbytery. The donation forms part of the Fellowship’s effort to extend the love of God to all persons and help make their lives a bit easier. The partnership was born out of the personal efforts of the National President, Dr. Philip Kankam to help improve the social lives of the people.
Rev. Bettina Bender and Partners are a group of German Missionaries who work in Ghana and other places at spreading the Gospel to all nations. In the course of spreading the gospel, they sometimes come up with some social interventions targeted at easing the burden on people in vulnerable communities. This mission falls in line with the Fellowship’s plans hence this collaboration.
The Village boom solar powered lamps comes in a package comprising the VB-014 6V Solar powered lamp, an XL Solar panel with other accessories capable of charging mobile phones and other electronic devices. The lamp has the ability of switching into 3 different modes and is powered by a 3.7V Li-lon battery.
The beneficiary communities/Churches were Bahankra, Temate and Tarentare in the Kumawu District and Nyamebekyere and Bonkwayemu in the Kwamang District, all of the Sekyere Presbytery.
