It is often emphasized that individuals should be appreciated, honored, and remembered for their contributions to society while they are still alive. This is exactly why the family of Madam Paulina Bulmuo has chosen to acknowledge their mother’s efforts and contributions.
Madam Paulina Bulmuo, affectionately known as Mama Paulina, is a compassionate and kind-hearted woman. Recently, her family celebrated her 70th birthday in a grand manner, during which they launched ‘The Paulina Bulmuo Foundation’.
Mama Paulina has always been dedicated to giving back throughout her life. She has continuously provided essential basic necessities to orphanages in Ghana, as well as abroad.
During the celebration of Mama Paulina’s 70th birthday, Pastor Grant Bulmuo, her eldest son, expressed his gratitude for the grace of God in her life. He described Mama Paulina as a loving and caring mother who has always surrounded herself with children. Pastor Grant shared that throughout his 53 years of life, he has never seen Mama Paulina without children by her side. He mentioned that she has influenced the lives of many children, some of whom are now spread across different countries.
“The first short time objective is to support, secure, and supply. Support orphanages, Secure resources for them, and supply any intervention that will help them deliver their goals well and then, also to prevent. So, the medium-term objective is to prevent where families are vulnerable and where there is the likelihood that one person might die to make an orphan, then Mama Paulina Foundation will step in. Then, there is also a protection aspect. It is also going to involve protecting orphans and vulnerable children by providing for their basic needs Shelter, health care, and education. So, she is going to work with a lot of orphanages”.
He also mentioned that the Paulina Bulmuo Foundation will provide orphanages in Northern Ghana with skill training to help them take care of themselves. “She is going to use her network of friends, a network of children, and a network of relationships across the world to see how she can raise resources to support these orphanages”. Pastor Grant maintained
Pastor Eric Afrifa, the Navrongo Fountain Gate Pastor Afrifa who was delegated to launch the Paulina Bulmuo Foundation, was full of excitement. He described Mama Paulina as an ‘exceptional woman’
“One thing that has drawn me very close to Mama was her zeal concerning the things of God” He stated
He narrated how Madam Paulina Bulmuo miraculously came in with 200 bags of cement when they were struggling with the construction of the Navrongo church building.
He said, that as a church, they have been bothered on what they could to show appreciation to Mama Paulina for her wonderful contribution to the construction of the church.
“We finally came to the conclusion that we needed to engrave her name on a portion of the church building that represents the pillar. So, when you come to Navrongo right now, to Mama’s honor and as a thanksgiving, there is a portion with an inscription that is engraved with a shiny material written ‘Paulina Bulmuo Columns’ and we are hoping that the name will continue to be there as long as the building is standing” He said
On her part, Madam Paulina Bulmuo who was full of excitement for God’s grace in her life said she was privileged, honored and humbled to have great people in her life as she celebrates her 70th birthday.
She continued: “We are here to celebrate a great effort and a great future of which all of you younger once over there are part. We are here to celebrate God’s goodness of 70 years. We are here to celebrate Mama Laadi Children’s home and all those across Ghana and the world who are doing the same great things as Mama Laadi is also doing here”.
According to Mama Paulina, the best way to live life is to live for others. “The most excellent way to your life directly to God is to give to people especially, people who can never pay you back except to say God bless you. I believe this is what Mama Laadi Children’s Home stands for and this is exactly why Paulina Bulmuo Foundation is here. We are here to give our lives and contribute our resources to people who can never pay us back except to say God bless you”. She expressed
Referring to the bible, Mama Paulina said she derived inspiration from the secret that was taught by our Lord Jesus himself in Mathew 25:31:46
Adding that, “Beloveth, I know many of us believe in God and our Lord Jesus Christ and fortunately all that some of us know about giving to God is giving to him in tithe and offering in church. Tithe and offering are good anyway, but permit me to point out a more excellent way to give directly to God and our Lord Jesus Christ”.
“If you want to give any good thing directly to God, give it to people who are hungry, tasty, homeless, sick, and in prison. Give it to the people who are in need when you give to them, you are giving it directly to God. This is the main message that drives the Paulina Bulmuo Foundation”. She advised
“Paulina Bulmuo Foundation is out to mobilize resources to support orphanages and vulnerable homes that are doing their best to give a better life to orphans and vulnerable children. She concluded
However, Ayariga Ismann, Administrative Officer, on behalf of Mama Laadi Orphanage Home extended their heartfelt gratitude to Madam Pualina Bulmuo and her family for their continuous support.
Mama Paulina has been of help to this place for a very long time. She has been coming here every 6 months. There is a saying that whatever you do it will come to light. Maybe, the time has come for people to know what Mama Pualina is doing for us.
He acknowledged, that their main sponsor Afrikids is not able to do all that they have to do, because sometimes running a home there are contingencies. So, in that regard, Mama Paulina and other donors have been very helpful.
“Some time ago, we were struggling with water and she came to our aide with a very big poly tank that is supplying the house with water”. Which he confessed has contributed immensely to reducing their water bills.
“Mama Paulina has been making a lot of food donations, she has done more and more things previously for us”
Meanwhile, the Pualina Bulmuo Foundation is expected to be formalized with the support of a well-respected established Board of Trustees.
