    The Livingstone Foundation (TLF) has stepped in to provide crucial support to Samiru Laryea, an accident survivor currently recovering from a life-threatening motor vehicle accident that resulted in the amputation of his right arm.

    On October 8, TLF’s Managing Director, Dr. Louisa Ansong-Satekla, along with a dedicated team, visited Laryea at the Surgical and Plastic Unit of Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. Their visit aimed to offer emotional support, essential relief items, and financial assistance to aid in his recovery. This marks the beginning of TLF’s commitment to provide ongoing support through regular visits and additional supplies as Laryea regains his strength.

    During their visit, the team delivered essential supplies, including bottled water, drinks, toiletries, and financial aid to cover Laryea’s medical expenses. The foundation emphasized the importance of kindness and hope in challenging times, pledging to support him throughout his recovery journey.

    “He’s a fan who had an accident while going about his day, which led to the amputation. We are here to support him as he heals, and we’ll continue to provide whatever assistance he needs,” Dr. Louisa stated. “This is not just a one-time gesture; we are committed to being involved in his recovery, now and in the future.”

    Although he couldn’t be there in person, celebrated Ghanaian musician Stonebwoy, the founder of The Livingstone Foundation, connected with Laryea via phone. He offered words of encouragement, urging Laryea to remain strong and resilient. Stonebwoy expressed empathy for his situation and promised to visit him once he is discharged, reinforcing the foundation’s commitment to providing both financial support and emotional encouragement.

    In response, Samiru Laryea expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the foundation’s generosity, noting that the support has significantly lifted his spirits.

  • Obaapa Christy Ex Husband, Ps. Love Jailed [Details + Video]

    Obaapa Christy Ex Husband, Ps. Love Jailed [Details + Video]

    Pastor Love Hammond, the head pastor of Action Grace Chapel International, has been sentenced to 48 months of hard labor following a conviction for theft. This outcome concludes a lengthy seven-year legal battle that has captured public attention.

    Hammond, previously married to prominent Ghanaian gospel singer Obaapa Christy, faced the court after a series of events that began in 2016. According to legal documents, Samuel Amankwah, a U.S. resident, entrusted Pastor Love with the task of clearing a 4×4 vehicle he had shipped to Ghana. Initially, Pastor Love covered the clearance costs himself, with Amankwah directing him to sell the vehicle for $50,000 and retain the duty costs.

    However, when Amankwah returned to Ghana in April 2017, he discovered that the vehicle was missing, despite multiple requests for its status. This prompted Amankwah to file a police report, leading to Pastor Love’s arrest in May 2017.

    During the proceedings, Pastor Love argued that he had taken a loan of GH¢40,000 at 20 percent interest to clear the vehicle and subsequently sold it for GH¢80,000 without Amankwah’s approval to settle the loan. However, he was unable to provide evidence supporting his claims regarding the loan or the sale.

    Judge Isaac Addo, who presided over the case, acknowledged Pastor Love’s status as a first-time offender but underscored the expectation of integrity for someone in his position. The judge concluded that the 48-month sentence was warranted not only as punishment but also as a deterrent to others.

    Before sentencing, Pastor Love expressed remorse and sought leniency, indicating his willingness to pay any imposed fines. Nevertheless, the court’s decision highlights the importance of accountability, especially for public figures in positions of trust.

  • Let’s Unite for Peace in Ghana – A Call to Action from the Founder of Watch Your Tongue Foundation

    Let’s Unite for Peace in Ghana – A Call to Action from the Founder of Watch Your Tongue Foundation

    Peace is a valuable asset that requires constant attention and effort. Defined as a state free from disturbance, war, or anxiety, peace represents a condition of security and tranquility. In essence, peace can be seen as the absence of confusion.

    To foster this peace, we must actively identify and address the sources of confusion in our society. As we navigate the complexities of our democratic processes, especially during elections, it’s vital to prioritize a peaceful atmosphere in Ghana. The stakes may seem high, but I ask: must Ghana suffer because of elections? The answer lies in our collective commitment.

    Promoting peace is a responsibility we all share. Every citizen, organization, and institution must join forces with us at the Watch Your Tongue Foundation to reinforce peace in Ghana. This means embracing unity and respecting diverse perspectives on important issues.

    Constructive conversations are essential to building a foundation of peace. We need to emphasize accountability, fairness, justice, and the rule of law to cultivate trust and support our socio-economic development. Despite our differences in religion, ethnicity, and social interests, we are all part of one nation: Ghana.

    To enhance the effectiveness of our peace campaign, I have developed a framework to communicate messages of peace clearly.

    PEACE Acronym:

    • Psychological Peace
    • Economic Peace
    • Accessibility of Basic Needs
    • Compliance
    • Environmental Peace

    GHANA Acronym:

    • Get involved in this Peace Building Agenda
    • Hurt nobody with your utterances, actions, and writings
    • Accept the views of others to promote tolerance and freedom of speech
    • Nothing is more important than peace and stability
    • Adhere to the rule of law to promote fairness, accountability, freedom, and justice

    I encourage everyone to adopt the four pillars of the Watch Your Tongue philosophy: Think Right, Speak Right, Act Right, and Write Right. These principles are vital for enhancing peace and security.

    In closing, I urge all Ghanaians, as well as those living in our midst, to reject hate speech, unlawful actions, and harmful rhetoric. Together, we can help solidify peace in Ghana and beyond. Remember: “Ghana will not die.” Let us work hand in hand for a brighter, peaceful future.
