Nyankumasi ahenkro: Reverend Kojo Odame, Executive Director of Kojo Odame Mission (KOMA), has extended his generosity to the Muslim community by donating a variety of food items, cash, and other packages to Alhaji Saeed Yussif Shaiba, Chief Imam of the Muslim Confederation, in support of the Eid-ul-Fitr celebration.
According to Ghana News Agency, the donated items include bags of rice, cooking oil, assorted drinks, and bottled water, valued at approximately GHS14,000.00. Rev.

Rev. Odame remarked that the occasion, marked by fasting, increased prayers, and charity, is a significant period for spiritual renewal, reflection, and community development.

The Eid-ul-Fitr celebration saw Muslims gathering at the mosque with vibrant scenes of families and vendors participating in the festivities.
