The Friend and Co-workers of Father Campbell Foundation has been inaugurated with the aim of supporting the priest solicit for funds to support the Lepers at the Weija Leprosarium.
The priest believes the inauguration of the group will go a long way to easy the burden of the Leprosarium when they are able to solicit for funds to support the Leprosarium which is already under resourced in taking care of the Lepers.
“So I decided to start the Father Campbell Foundation to support in solicitung for funds. Mother Theresa of blessed memories did a similar thing to support her charity work. Their task will be to go out and raise money through donations, concerts among others to pay for the bills of poor Lepers”Father Andrew Campbell said.
According to the Priest, the challenges involved in taking care of the Lepers is huge hence the need for support.
“Quiet recently one of the Lepers was sick and was sent to the Greater Accra Regional hospital for treatment but after being taken care of, money to pay for the bills became a challenge.We had to fall on the benevolence of some people. I decided to start the Father Campbell Foundation with the ultimate aim of helping people and raising funds to suport the Lepers. We have inaugurated this foundation to give suport to us. We will raise money through our concerts, among others. The medication of the Lepers are too high and I have to be doing the payments. The only assistant that the Lepers get is the LEAP fund which is meagre”Father Andrew Campbell said.
