Dr. Emmanuel Bortey Borketey, the founder and President of Happy Man Foundation has embarked on a philanthropic donation in the Upper East Region as part of his birthday celebration. Dr. Borketey is noted in the region as a man with huge love for the people of the Upper East through some of the contributions and investments he has made in the area of sports, entertainment and humanitarian grounds. Speaking at God’s Love Kids Home in Soe a community in the Bolgatanga Municipality, Dr. Borketey said, he finds it more important to celebrate his birthday with a specialized group here in Ghana especially in the Upper East Region than going to Saint. Lucia as earlier planned to celebrate with foreigners. “I decided to sacrifice that trip and make it down here to the Upper East Region to have the birthday celebration with the people who are so much attached to me. They have been good to my brand right from day one and they have been the source and joy of Happy Man Bitters”. Donating at the God’s Love Kids Orphanage Home, Dr. Borketey said: “I worked with Charger Limited, producers of Happy Man Bitters and Happy Man beverages to which I take salary every month and I wish to bless the organization with part of my salary for the next one year. Especially, if Charger Limited doesn’t terminate my appointment and still gives me employment from now till next year, I will give you Thousand Ghana Cedis (GHC 1000.00) out of my salary every month for one year. I think, I took my salary a few days ago and am giving you the first GHC 1000.00”. The proprietor of God’s Love Kids orphanage was seen excited and expressed satisfaction with the kind gesture shown by Dr. Borketey. “I just want to say God will bless you, this is a blessed day, it means that you are a man of blessing. As God is blessing you, you are also blessing the world and I want to say we appreciate it so much. There are so many homes, there are so many problems in this country and society that need attention and so, if we are privileged to be one of those you have located, we say thank you so much and God will continue to bless you in everything you do”. Sighting some of their challenges, the proprietor said: “It is sometimes very challenging as someone that works in an orphanage there are times you will come here and everywhere is full of joy and there are times it comes with a lot of frustrations and sometimes, you even feel like telling social welfare to come and close this place and let me rest. But there are times you rise up the kind of people who come to visit and the kind of thing they do and what they say to you give you so much oil and hope that you cannot afford to give up in this kind of work we are doing”. “People like you are those who really make us function here” He expressed The Happy Man Foundation donated items and cash worth over GHC54,000.00 to God’s love kid’s home in Soe, Timataaba Children’s home in Gbeogo (Talensi) and some 30 selected needy widows at the Bolgatanga social center as his birthday also marks international widows day.
