The Ghana-Anhui Chamber of Commerce has donated 2,120 sports essentials to the National Sports Authority (NSA) Resource Mobilisation and Partnership Committee (RMPC) to support the development of grassroots sports through the Constituency Games.
The items donated include 600 pairs of footwear, comprising peace canvas sneakers and casual shoes, and 1,520 peace T-shirts in adult unisex sizes ranging from XS to 3XL, bringing the total number of donated product units to 2,120.
Present at the ceremony were the chairman of the Governing Board of the NSA, Dr Fred Awaah, the Director General of the NSA, Mr Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, the president of the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC), Mr Richard Akpokavie, former Black Stars captain, Andre Ayew, members of the (RMPC), the Ghana-China Community and other stakeholders.
Speaking at the ceremony, chairman of the RMPC, Mr Samson Deen, expressed appreciation to the Ghana-Anhui Chamber for its partnership and support towards the development of sports in Ghana.
“As part of the government’s reset agenda, this is not mere support but it will go a long way to help the sports and also to discover talents. No child should be left out because of their location or background. That is the reason for the Constituency Games,” he indicated.
Mr Deen expressed the belief that with the right channel and resources, Ghana sports will take centre stage and also help project country on the international scene.
On his part the chairman of Ghana-Anhui Chamber of Commerce, Mr Tang Wei, said the gesture was part of its corporate social responsibility and commitment to contributing to Ghanaian society, having operated in Ghana for more than 30 years.
“Sports is another aspect that unites and promotes peace, so we hope this donation achieves its purpose. We are ready to support whenever we are called upon to do so,” he added.
Former Black Stars captain, Andre Ayew, also expressed his appreciation to the Ghana-Anhui Chamber for stepping forward with the donation, describing the support as important to the growth and promotion of Ghanaian sports.
