Today, will forever be remembered by officials and inmates of Navrongo Ghana Prison Service. This is because the Alagumgube Association, an international community-driven group, has brought massive relieve, joy and warmth to the inmates of the Navrongo Central Prison in Ghana. Apexnewsgh reports
The association donated essential items, including rice, oil, tin tomatoes, and mattresses, to help the inmates celebrate the holiday season.
Founded by Mr. Gabriel Agambila in Virginia, USA, the Alagumgube Association has grown rapidly since its inauguration in New Jersey on September 7, 2024. With 182 members worldwide, the association aims to strengthen community ties, support cultural and educational development, and enhance welfare and health initiatives.
During the donation ceremony, Caroline Kurug, a representative of Alagumgube, expressed the group’s deep commitment to the welfare of the less fortunate. “Christmas is a time of love, generosity, and togetherness,” she said. “We want to remind the prisoners that they are not forgotten and that they too deserve the warmth and joy of the season.”
The donation was a testament to Alagumgube’s broader mission to enhance the welfare of marginalized communities. The association’s message of hope, redemption, and unity resonated strongly with the inmates, many of whom may face feelings of isolation during the holiday season.
The ceremony also served as a tribute to the late Sia Yambire, a dedicated member of Alagumgube who passed away just four days prior. His contributions to the cause were acknowledged with deep appreciation.
As the holiday season approaches, the Alagumgube Association continues to demonstrate the power of community and the spirit of giving. Their selfless act has brought peace, comfort, and a renewed sense of community to the Navrongo Prison, making a tangible difference in the lives of those often overlooked.
Meanwhile, the Navrongo Prison in Ghana’s Upper East Region witnessed a heartwarming moment of gratitude and appreciation. The Regional Prisons Commander, ADP-Yakubu A. Ibrahim, and the inmates expressed their deepest thanks to a philanthropic organization for its kind donation.
The donation, which included essential items, came at a time when the prison was facing significant challenges in feeding the inmates. With the government’s feeding rate of Ghc1.80 per inmate, which barely covers breakfast, lunch, and supper, the prison relies heavily on support from churches and philanthropists.
The Regional Prisons Commander, speaking on behalf of the inmates and officers, praised the organization’s timely donation. “Your donation came at a time when we were in dire need of support,” he said. “We want to thank you so much for this kind gesture.”
The commander assured the organization that the donated items would be used for their intended purpose, adding that the Almighty God would multiply the organization’s resources in billions of folds.
The donation was a beacon of hope for the inmates, reminding them that they were not forgotten. As the holiday season approaches, the philanthropic organization’s kindness has brought joy and comfort to the Navrongo Prison community.
However, the inmates also received a word a word encouragement from the group.
