situation. We have always thought of the perfect time to celebrate you and today being
mother’s day, we felt it is the right time to do this.”

widows but will find ways to empower them as well through economic and other
educational programmes.
Speaking to the widows virtually, Tina Versatraate, the CEO The Wendy’s Project said
that “as a single mum myself, I really wish you all the best. I know it is not easy at times,
it might seem that life is too hard but there is always light at the end of the tunnel so
look at the beautiful things in your life; I know you have the right attitudes, I know that
you live for your children as I do myself and you know children are the future and the
future is bright. I know you guys will make it happen for your children. It’s so important
to give them everything that you have in yourself, to make them glow, to make them
blossom, to make them more beautiful than we are because children are the future.
Good luck in all you do.”
The Founder of Widows Federation Ghana, Madam Rosemary Acquah expressed

in all you do and give you long life. May God bless every member of The Wendy’s
