The king of Ghana gets
7,5 tons of relief supplies
SOF and CSLI on duty
„Interim report“ by Gen CSLI Bernd Höhle
Some weeks ago King Céphas Bansah from Ghana asked the Child Welfare Organisation e.V. (ICH) in Stadthagen for help via Whatsapp – directly from the jungle of Hohoe/the Volta-region in Ghana. The disastrous situation could clearly be seen. In some orphanages the children had to sleep in the bare clay soil – there were no beds.
The ICH started an extensive aid programme. Several aid organisations like the ASB-sector Lower Saxony e.V. were asked and within a few weeks more than 80 beds, mattresses, furniture and some medical equipment could be provided. Furthermore a refrigerator and a washing machine. October 4th 2017 was the great day – after the organisational work was done by the country chairman of the ASB-sector Hannover-Land/Schaumburg, Dr. Friedbert Mordfeld. In cooperation with the “Sword of Freedom-Corps” and “Martial arts with heart” led by Bernd Höhle (SOF and General CSLI) the relief supplies could be loaded till late into the night in Sumte (a town situated at the river “Elbe” near Hamburg) and in Stadthagen.
The whole vaule of the relief supplies is about 60.000 €, there are also costs for the transport of about 5.000 €. King Bansah himself drove the car with the goods. He only knows where they are actually needed in the jungle. From Ludwigshafen the 20 feet container was shipped to Ghana and after a journey of about 4 weeks the goods were transported to the jungle – from Teema, the harbour near the capital city Accra.
King Bansah is very grateful. After the goods have been distributed in Ghana he will send a report with photos and a film. Dieter F. Kindermann, the president of the ICH e.V., thanked the ASB, all other donors and helping people and particularly the Special Forces of the SOF of Bernd Höhle who has already provided support very often – naturally on a voluntary basis.
