Actor John Dumelo has played his part in helping with relief items for the Ghanaians affected by the ongoing Volta River flooding.
Hundreds of households in 9 districts in 3 regions have been flooded by water spilt from the Akosombo dam to safeguard the integrity of the dam that produces electricity for Ghana and some parts of West Africa.
6,000 residents out of the 26,000 displaced have been evacuated to safe havens to serve as their temporary homes, while the rest 20,000 are living with relatives and other places they deem fit.
The majority of victims in the North Tongu District, which is the hardest hit – are being housed in classrooms at the St Kizito Senior High School which has poor living conditions.
John Dumelo donated water, fresh eggs, bread, slightly used clothing, Ghana rice, and other essential items to some affected residents of communities such as Torgome, Klamadaboe, and Kesegakope.
According to him, these are communities close to his farm and he has previously worked with some of those affected.
Aside from his donations, the multifaceted celebrity also gave over the use of his farmhouse to the residents who had been displaced.
“Yesterday I presented some relief items( water, fresh eggs, bread, slightly used clothing, Ghana rice) to some farming settlements(Torgome, Klamadaboe, Kesegakope) close to my farm along the Volta Lake. I have worked with some of them over the last 7 years. I have therefore opened up my farmhouse to them as extra shelter. God bless us all.”
