The first lady, Lordina Dramani Mahama, has, in a Christmas message, encouraged Ghanaians to look out for others who may be disadvantaged and help them to also celebrate the Christmas and New Year festivities.
Arguing that it is easy for individuals and families to forget their neighbours in need, children in orphanages and others in hospital, Mrs. Mahama said a return to the days of old when families were interested in what happened to their neighbour�s children would contribute greatly to tackling some of the challenges that confronted our value system in the country.
Mrs. Mahama, who is spending the holidays with her husband, President John Mahama, and their children, in South Africa, said the Yuletide offered Ghanaians another opportunity to unite, come together and care for one another.
�Over the years, I have spent every single Christmas with inmates of various orphanages across the country and also other vulnerable groups, and I know that despite government interventions, we must also support one another,� the message noted.
Mrs. Mahama asked Ghanaians to also use the Yuletide to pray and thank God for His blessing on Ghana and for the peaceful and successful elections.
