Photos:Special Mother's day event rewards mother's; thrills thousands at 'Koftown'


Mother’s day celebration in Ghana  can’t get better without observing or dancing to sonorous lively music performances  by  some renowned gospel artistes in church.
 This has been the culture and the tradition adopted by most Ghanaians over the years just to celebrate and honour our dear mothers for the hardships they bear in bringing us up as children on mother’s day.

This year’s mother’s day celebration which was the biggest in the history of Ghana was staged at   Eastern Regional Capital Koforidua - Pentecost Preparatory School Park on Sunday May 8 with over 1,200 celebrants in attendance.  
 Christened as “My Mom & I -2016” was a day-to-remember action-packed event which kicked-off exactly at 3pm with an array of outstanding performances from top- notch Ghanaian cum Nigerian gospel music acts like Rev. Nana Perbi, Ministers Igwe and Ebele who kept the entire atmosphere around the venue fully charged leaving patrons with no choice to go home but to wait till the end of the event.
 Apart from the scintillating musical performances which kept the venue musically ablaze  non-stop for close to 5-hour,  patrons were also made to imbibe some inspirational and educational messages from Counselor and Life Coach, Nana Hemaa Abrokwah and hosts of others  who graced the occasion.
  Adding to that, the organizers of the event Nana Perbi Foundation and REVNAP Consult has presented a citation to honor 200 retired teachers as well as deserving mothers currently working as teachers in Koforidua Pentecost Preparatory School (PPS). They have also honored 70 best students who excelled academically in school with various prizes. 

 Driven by the same passion of good will towards the students, REVNAP Consult has also helped initiated  a reading club in PPS, elected  a leader to steer the affairs of the club so as to inculcate reading habit in students of  PPPS whiles in school.   

The organizers earlier conducted a clean-up exercise a day before the actual event which saw the School library thoroughly clean-up including books on shelves well arranged.

Rev. Nana Perbi, main event organizer could not hide his magnanimity for the love of mothers presented a brand new 4G android mobile phone to a lucky mother who was earlier accompanied by her daughter to the venue to cushion her in life.

 Meanwhile, Assistant Headmaster of  PPS, Elder Gabriel Amiteye who could not hide his joy send a congratulatory whatsapp message to Rev. Nana Perbi and his team which read: “Thank God for your life and Ministry REVNAP. You and your team have done what nobody has ever done in the history of PPS. May the Lord continue to give you strength to fulfill your God-given mandate.  Shalom, Peace and Life to you”.

Finally the event was climaxed with a buffet dinner which saw over 1,200 patrons made up of mothers, widows, childless and underprivileged women in attendance well fed at the Koforidua Church of Pentecost–Old Estate Auditorium. 

 My Mom & I -2016 special mother’s day was the fourth in succession since its maiden edition was held in 2013 at the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Koforidua followed by the Apostolic Church of Ghana in 2014 and 2015 respectively.
