Vodafone Organises Free Eye Screening And Donates Ghc 5,000 To Save Them Young Orphanage (SYTO)


Vodafone Ghana Foundation, as part of its commitment to contribute to the sustainable development of the country, has organised free eye screening for children of the Save Them Young Orphanage (SYTO) and donated Ghc 5,000 to the home.

The Foundation championed this initiative on behalf of employees celebrating their birthdays in November and male employees of the organisation, as part of activities to mark this year’s World Children’s Day and International Men’s Day.

The Vodafone employees spent the day at the orphanage and engaged in a number of fun games whilst the birthday celebrants shared their cake-cutting moment with the children of the home. Cecy Twum, one of Ghana’s leading gospel musicians joined team and performed during the celebration.

Rev Amaris Perbi, the Vodafone Ghana Foundation Lead, who spoke at the event said; “The Birthday Stars initiative is the latest inclusion to the tall list of Vodafone’s CSR activities where we engender staff involvement in the activities of the Foundation by embarking on a community project. Since September, we have marked the birthdays of Vodafone Ghana employees with very significant charity projects all in line with internationally recognised days. The Foundation is immensely grateful to all stakeholders especially staff of Vodafone Ghana who are making it possible to deliver such significant impact”.

Mr. Amaris also commended the male employees who presented a token to the administration of the Save Them Young Orphanage (STYO) to assist with the upbringing of the children. “Children, as we always say, are future leaders and need a lot of care and support wherever they find themselves in order to achieve their dreams.  I commend the men from Vodafone Ghana for contributing 5,000 cedis to support these kids”.




The Foundation continues to deliver projects, which are championed by employees celebrating their birthdays within a particular month under its Birthday Stars initiative. The project picks and delivers projects aligned with the United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goals on selected internationally recognised United Nations Days.

As preparations are in top gear for the second edition of social reality TV show, Big Brother Nigeria, organisers have revealed that there will be no broadcast of nude footage called ‘Shower Hour’, when the show returns on January 22, 2017. This comes to some fans as ‘decent’, following the controversies generated by that segment of the show, during the now rested continental edition, Big Brother Africa (BBA). MultiChoice is bringing back the Nigerian version of the series after 10 years. It had announced after the last edition of BBA that each African country will stage the show henceforth. Renamed Big Brother Naija, the show will have 12 housemates who will compete for the prize of N25 million and a brand new KIA Sorento car. Sponsored by PayPorte, the program will run for 78 days, starting 22 January 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised launch and end on 9 April 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised finale.

When the Big Brother Naija All-Stars house first opened on July 23, the curious eyes of fans picked up on the parrot. It wasn’t just that it seemed out of place; it was also a little weird and didn’t match the decor. So the guessing game began with everyone wondering if it was just a decorative piece or if it held some significance that we had to pay attention to. Those who guessed that it had some relevance we must pay attention to were correct. A little secret you should know first - the parrot is an all-hearing one, and it will spill all the secrets it's heard at 9 pm today. It’s about to be pure mayhem, and we are here for it! For the past two weeks, the parrot has carefully listened to all the drama and gossip in the house, and it is time for the parrot to do what parrots know how to do best, gossip. Big Brother will bring the parrot to life for the first time today, Friday, August 4, at 9 pm, and you best believe the drama is about to go up a notch higher.
