Akua, the winner of the 2011 Ghana�s Most Beautiful pageant, has received help from Nana Owusu Barimma III to undertake her project which is aimed at assisting street children in Kumasi to learn a vocation. The Atasemansohene has donated a huge plot of land to Akua for her project. The land, which is located just opposite the Atasemanso Primary and JHS, was given to the beauty queen, who once upon a time also had to sell on the streets of Atimatim in Kumasi due to poverty. Nana Barimma III said the plot of land was his widow�s mite to help make it possible for Akua to save more children on the streets of Kumasi. The Atasemansohene said society should learn to give a helping hand to those that had the passion to help the vulnerable, giving a thumbs up to Akua for her great vision. Nana Barimma III, who presented the land to Akua at a function last Tuesday, urged society and organizations to come to Akua�s aid to enable her help the less privileged. The Member of Parliament of the area, Dr. Richard Anane, also presented a cash donation of GH�5,000 to Ghana�s Most Beautiful 2011 queen, while the Nhyiaeso MP also presented brand new sewing machines and hair dryers. Akua, a native of Santase in the Nhyiaeso Constituency in Kumasi, immediately after being crowned winner in 2011, promised to use her new status to set up a project to train street children in Kumasi in vocations such as hair dressing and dressmaking.
