Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The church made the donation when representatives of Accident Victims Support (AVS) paid a working visit to the Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church Ghana, Most Rev. Dr Paul Kwabena Boafo, in Accra last Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The visit was to solicit for funds and collaborate with the church to intensify awareness of road accidents, to educate the public on road accidents and the impact on its victims.<\/p>\n

A Board Member and the Secretary of AVS, Docia Amaku Soyoo Ocansey, said November was being marked as the National Road Victims Month. That, she said, was the reason the organisation was advocating and intensifying awareness to reduce road crashes in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a need for us to intensify because the road crashes are still in place, and even much more serious in recent times than before,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

Victims Ms Ocansey noted that about 15,000 victims of road crashes were either deformed or had various levels of injuries, with less to no support. \u201cPeople will only come in once or twice just to support; after that they are left alone,\u201d she stressed.<\/p>\n

She explained that the foundation did not have any specific funding support, and that the funds they received went directly to support the victims. Citizens\u2019 welfare<\/p>\n

Most Rev. Dr Boafo said the church existed for the welfare of the citizens of the country. He expressed gratitude to the foundation for offering support to road accident victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all come together as a nation once in a while to talk and preach about road crashes and how we can minimise it, especially when we are drawing closer to Christmas,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Most Rev. Dr Boafo called on transport unions, drivers and road users to be circumspect and drive with caution to help to minimise road accidents. He urged road users to follow road rules and regulations to reduce the chances of accidents and their attendant injuries and fatalities.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce a while, you hear of crashes on our roads, and these come with some kind of pain, hurt, fear and anxiety because you will never know who has been crashed on the road until the last person is seen or counted,\u201d he stated. He stressed that the church would continue to support the foundation by educating the public on the church\u2019s social media platforms.<\/p>\n

The President of AVS, Rev. Ciril Crabble, appealed to all heads of churches to emulate the Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church Ghana and make monthly and yearly donations to the foundation to support road accident victims.<\/p>\n
