Ghanaian music icon, Kwaisey Pee, known in private life as Akwasi Poku Addae, has fulfilled a promise to support children suffering from cancer.
Ahead of his 25th anniversary event held at the D’ Icon Event Centre at East Legon last year, the musician pledged to donate part of the proceeds to support children battling cancer.
True to his word, he has donated GH₵50,000 to the Paediatric Oncology Unit of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
Speaking to the Ghanaian Times, Kwaisey Pee said children are very dear to him and expressed optimism that the support would positively impact the lives of many.
The musician also assured that the gesture would not be a one-time act.
“This will not be the last. It will be a continuous feature from me,” he said.
He further called on Ghanaians both at home and abroad to support children suffering from cancer.
According to him, children battling cancer have numerous needs, and assistance from the public can help ease their suffering.
“Cancer treatment is very expensive, and leaving that burden on the parents alone is very difficult. With support from you and myself, we can make some changes in other people’s lives,” he said.
