Maxwell Klu turns birthday into relief mission for Hohoe flood victims

Deputy Chief Executive of the Minerals Commission, Maxwell Yao Akpene Klu, turned his birthday celebration into a relief mission for victims of recent floods in Hohoe, Volta Region. The donation consisted of rice, cooking oil, bedsheets, towels, children's clothing, slippers, sanitary pads, soap, biscuits, and educational materials.

Klu was motivated by the devastation caused by the floods and his long-standing connection to Hohoe, which he referred to as a second home. The floods destroyed homes, farms, shops, and other belongings that families had built over time. Klu called on individuals, businesses, and corporations to support the victims, emphasizing that even small contributions could help families recover.

He also requested more educational materials to help affected children return to school. Volta Regional Minister James Gunu commended Klu for using his birthday to support flood victims, describing the gesture as a demonstration of compassion and solidarity. He urged others to follow suit and assured beneficiaries that the government would continue to support the affected communities. Some beneficiaries expressed gratitude for the support and prayed for Klu's blessings.
