Mr. Justice Quansah, Project Co-ordinator of Compassion International (CI), a Non-Governmental Organization, has advised parents and guardians of beneficiary children of the child development project being implemented by the NGO to take good care of the diets of their children.
He said parents could use vegetables and other locally-produced items to prepare balanced diets for their children instead of relying on imported ingredients.
Mr. Quansah was addressing parents and guardians of beneficiary children at an orientation course at Kasoa Pentecost Child Development Centre.
He disclosed that over 200 children have been registered under the Compassion International Child Development Project since it commenced work in the area.
Mr. Mark Zutah, project health worker, reminded participants that it was only when their children were properly fed that they could absorb what their teachers impart to them.
He said whereas the NGO and the Church were doing their best to promote the spiritual and educational well-being of the children, parents and guardians of the beneficiary children must also play their part to protect their good health.
Mr. Patrick Ozor and Mr. Francis Donkor, both workers of the project, stressed the need for participants to adopt prudent financial measures in whatever business they pursue to ensure maximum returns to supplement what the NGO is providing for their children’s development.
Earlier, Mr. J. Y. Owusu-Kwarteng, Public Relations Officer of the Awutu Effutu Senya Mutual Health Insurance Scheme (AESMHIS) had taken participants through the various aspects of the health insurance policy.
Mr. Owusu-Kwarteng reminded Ghanaians who have not as yet registered with the Scheme of the need to avail themselves of the immense benefits the policy provides, and counselled such people not to waste anymore time to register with the Scheme.
He also urged all premium holders of the Scheme to ensure that their Health Insurance ID Cards were renewed in good time to avoid embarrassments during critical times.
