Former President of Ghana, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama has donated $10,000 to the Ghana amputee national football team after they visited him at his residence.
The donation was in appreciation of the team's impressive achievement in winning the Amputee Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Egypt, where they defeated Morocco 2-1 in the final to clinch the title.
Mahama, in holding the team in high esteem for their superb efforts, also promised to support the team more if he's elected as Ghana's next President in the December polls.
"We must not only focus on just the senior national team (Black Stars)... we should also invest in teams like yours so that you can continue to make Ghana proud," Mahama said.
"Even though you didn't see me before you left for the tournament, I have a little gift for you of $10,000 to be shared amongst the players. I know that you went through some challenges in the tournament.
"I'll continue to take an interest in what you do. As the presidential candidate of the NDC party, I wish to assure you that when I become President of the country I will not forget the Amputee Football team.
"We will give you the assistance that you need to retain your trophy and even win more laurels for us."
