Episcopal diocese helps home, in Ghana, for children whose mothers died in childbirth

 From Western Massachusetts-

The director of the Mampong Babies Home in Kumasi, Ghana, has been visiting with leaders of the Episcopal Diocese of Western Massachusetts this month. Margaret Addai, who heads up the home, established to care for the infants of mothers who died in childbirth, is in the area for 10 days of rest.

“It’s my dream come true to be here today,” said Addai, herself an orphan. “I thank them very much. They treat me like a queen here; I wish to come back again.”

Many volunteers from the diocese have visited the home to help the staff, who at any given time are caring for 35 to 40 children. The children stay at Mampong, until their families can accept them back home, usually around the age of 4 or 5.
