Everyone deserves help, especially the deprived. And Ghanaian police officer Lance Corporal Simon Ekpeagba Agbeko has once again shown kindness to a physically challenged woman.
Charlotte Anyitei, age 54, became paralysed at age six after a complicated medical procedure that left her in a sorry state.
German-based Lord's Peace Foundation has donated a wheelchair to the 'disabled' woman via the junior police officer who is with the Accra Regional Police Command.
The mobility aid will help lessen her challenge with moving around at home and undertaking other activities with ease.
