I want to begin this report by thanking everyone who in their own small way contributed to making neo-care and the projects it runs a success. Real heroes don’t wear capes, and that’s you guys.
Neo-care is a community of people who care deeply for the wellbeing of the less privilege all over the world, as long as we have a trustworthy Hivean in said country. Neocare has run support to the needy and less privileged in a few countries already, and Ghana(my country) was the recent to benefit from it.
Neo-care was able to gather an amount of 203HIVE which upon conversion to USDT, gave 106.16USDT. @sayee sent me this amount on 7th February (last week) in anticipation of the donation happening this week.
I left the money in my Binance until when I set out on my journey to Navrongo on Friday last week. When I converted the 106.16USDT into my local currency, I got GHC1,312.13.
When I arrived in Navrongo, the preparations for the orphanage visitation started on Tuesday with myself and my friend @zzzinnn heading to the campus supermarket, Paradise Supermarket to make an inventory of the stuff we’ll be buying for the donation. This was necessary so that we could make a complete budget of everything before hand tomorrow(Wednesday). I’ll go through a quick review of what we put on the list and why.
Shopping
So first and foremost, we covered Rice itself. There were varieties of rice but we budgeted to buy2 bags of fortune delicious rice which as per the picture was GHC70 for a bag, so GHC140 for the two bags.
Next was tomato paste. For this one, we had the choice of either going with the paste in sachet, or this big Master Chef container here, and we stuck to the master chef container because it seemed like we’d be getting more for our money that way. We bought 1 container for GHC50
Obviously, we needed cooking oil since we bought rice already so we got 1 can of this 4.5L Frytol on the top shelve here for GHC180. Considering we bought two bags of rice, it was the logical choice.
Next thing we put on the list was Spaghetti. Our hands were tired with the spaghetti because we only bought 5 pieces for GHC 40 because our budget was tight. We wish we could’ve gotten more, but what we got was better than nothing.
Mackerel was next on the list. We bought 7 tins of Ole Mackerel which cost GHS16 each, so 112 for the 7 tins.
After handling a bit of the heavy meal part of the donation, we got some stuff for breakfast. We bought 1 Roll of Milo and 1 Roll of Nido for GHC37 and GHC34 respectively. The roll had more pieces than what’s showing in this picture, as the roll in this picture had been shortened.
It would only be logical we got sugar so that was the next item on the list. However for the sugar, we had wanted to buy the sugar sold in rubbers as those provided a greater quantity of sugar. Unfortunately, the supermarket ran out and we had to compromise for cube sugars. Regardless, we made sure to buy 2 boxes of Big size cube sugar, for GHC32 each, making GHC64 for the two.
Now we were done covering the feeding aspect of the donation and we had to divert to cater a bit for other needs.
We bought 1 large can of Sasso insecticide spray(for GHC 60) to better prevent the children better against malaria, which is a serious plight of people in this area.
Also, we bought one large size baby diapers (for GHC72) housing 48 pieces for the kids.
We contemplated of buying Dettol too, but it seemed it wouldn’t fit into the budget so we left it. Maybe in the next project, we shall cover all that.
Now, onto some sweets to get their mouths watery. 50 pieces lollipop was staring right at us as of we asked where it was so we bought 1 pack for GHC28.
Aside that, we also bought 1 box of kalyppo for GHC65 and 2 packs of King cracker for GHC22 each, making GHC44 for the two.
The receipt of our purchase is above, showing the total purchase to be GHC1,031.
Visit to Mother Of Mercy Babies Home
After making the purchase and everything, we set out for Mother Of Mercy Babies Home on Wednesday(yesterday). It was a long journey to be honest, and seemed even longer because none of us had been there before until yesterday.
When we arrived, we were received by the mothers taking care of the children and was asked to wait for the lady in charge.
When she arrived, we saw the children and handed the donation over to the mothers. We engaged in a bit of conversation before and after for them to know our mission as they had a few questions which we addressed without doubt.
You should’ve been there to see the children, great kids. It was sad seeing children like them at an orphanage. But that is life, cruel as it is without mercy.
After the donation, the sister gave me this as a token of appreciation on behalf of the orphanage. asked me to make a list of the stuff we bought in their record book and that was pretty easy as I already had the receipt in my pocket. She also asked me to leave behind my number as a representative of the team so that when the more literate sisters come in the following day, they can give me a call so we speak more. It seemed they were really overjoyed by our visit and had a lot of questions about our uniform T-shirts (Hive).
We spent like an hour at the orphanage before we headed back to campus. Most of my colleagues are still students and had to get back to campus for a few lectures so we sped things up for their sake, arriving back on campus around 2:40.
We took two tricycles for the journey and they took GHC150 for the journey.
After we returned, as a token of appreciation, O took everyone to a food joint and each bought food for GHC10, so that summed up to GHC100.
Adding everything together, we spent GHC1,281 and the balance remaining is GHC31.
Again, l want to thank @jimah1k, @yahuzah, @nhaji01, @abu78, @zzzinnn, @tiyumtaba, @smariam, @gunu1, @rubilu for their presence. I’m setting each person except @nhaji01 as 5% beneficiary to this post. Because I can’t add more than 8 beneficiaries, I’ll send @nhaji01 the same amount every beneficiary received when this post pays out. Thanks for coming guys, and thanks again to everyone supporting neo-care. God bless you all.
This project was so humbling. The children looked so innocent and to think they’re orphans was just so heartbreaking. This meant they have no father or mother giving them that parental love.
They literally survive on people’s acts of kindness like this. I am making it a point to extend my hands as much as possible in this acts of kindness with the least I get.
I would like to say thank you to @sayee on behalf of the kids and their nurses. They really appreciated it.
They said to extend their sincerest gratitude to you. And said God richly bless you.
With neo-care and more projects like it, we can better support these kids and others in need. I certainly will actively try to get neo-care more support any way I can so it can touch more lives.
Maybe we can check on the kids from time to time to see how they’re doing. Will be great to keep tabs on them and help them however we can in the future.

Thanks, man. Yeah I tried to be as transparent as possible. Great to show people how and where money from the project was spent.
You people really did an amazing Job God Almighty 🙏 Bless All Abundantly 🙏
Thanks, darling.
Welcome 😁😁
It's heartwarming to hear about your visit to the Mother of Mercy Babies Home and the donation made through Neo-care. The items you purchased for the orphanage will definitely go a long way in improving the lives of the children there.
It's important to note that you've shown great transparency in detailing the items purchased and their respective costs. It's also commendable that you took the time to create a budget and inventory list beforehand. This level of organization shows that you took the responsibility of making the donation very seriously.
It's also a good thing that you engaged in conversation with the mothers and the lady in charge, and even left your contact information for future communication. It's important to maintain relationships with such organizations and keep track of the impact of the donations made.
Overall, you and Neo-care have made a positive impact on the lives of these children. Keep up the good work, and I hope that others will be inspired to give back to their communities in their own way.Kudos! to you guys
Thanks for the nice words, bro. The team is grateful to you and @mcsamm for the Hive T-shirts. Thank you very much!

It brought joy to us knowing that through neo-care we were able to put a smile on the face of the kids.
We’ll he checking up on them from time to time and helping out in any way we can ourselves, or updating neo-care if they require further assistance we can’t provide ourselves.
There’s something about these places that make you appreciate the life you have. It’s heartbreaking to see such young children in these situations but they are always so happy and oblivious of everything around them.
There’s so much to learn.
It’s a humbling experience and I wish to be more involved
We definitely will be more involved from now. Maybe regular check ups and reports on their well being will be a start.
It was an awesome start on our side, and we would like to say a very big thank you to the sponsors of the Neo Care Foundation. It is really great to support the needy in our localities. We pledge to always come out in numbers to support and help the needy in the community. Thank you so much, brother, for organizing this and making it a successful one as well. That was a great report. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for being there, bro.
This is so fantastic to see how you guys got provided with the essential information for the record book. Having left behind contact information is a considerate approach, and it's great to read that the beneficiaries were appreciative of the visit and inquisitive about the Hive T-shirts. It seems to be amazing that despite your busy schedules, you guys found time for the visit and returned to the university on time. Collectively, it's an excellent example of community outreach and service. I am proud of your hard work and how impactful this has been. With your daily and continuous efforts, we will certainly make hive known throughout Ghana and beyond. Congratulations to you @depressedfuckup @jimah1k, @yahuzah, @nhaji01, @abu78, @zzzinnn, @tiyumtaba, @smariam, @gunu1, @rubilu
Thank you boss.
Thank you for your confidence in us!😇
Thank you guys for this opportunity to be part of the whole project. I had a great time and it was nice doing this together, and I hope we can achieve more of this in the future.
Hopefully there’ll be more to do and more impact to make in the future.
- @depressedfuckup, it was nice to read, May God bless the project more. Anything presented with transparency without harming anyone is very important, trust and sincerity are at stake. You will see the heart of the people managing the project that reflects their character! Thank you for sharing this with us! Have a blessed day !😇
Thank you for the nice words. Transparency is key especially when matters of charity is concerned.
-That is true..!transparency but without the intention of boasting. Have a blessed evening!🙏
First of all I would like to use this opportunity to thank everyone who made this possible. There are a lot of people who aren’t privileged enough to get something to eat or wear.
So brings me joy when I see that we were able to be of help to these children. I hope that we will continue with this good act.
I’ll keep you updated if we’re ever to checkup up on them. Thanks for coming, man. God bless you😇

Thanks, Merit. It was really amazing lighting up the faces of these kids with joy. You should’ve been there to see it😇
Hehe just the thought of it is filling me up 🥰
It was fun doing this with you all. Thank you for making time out of your busy schedule to make this is success.
God bless anyone that aided in making this a success.
greetings @depressedfuckup
It's a very nice gesture that I'm sure God will multiply it to you.....
We must always help those who need it, today for me, tomorrow for you ....
God bless you all who participated in this noble gesture. The way you meticulously planned all this and took all your friends too makes me proud of you and I am sure God feels the same way no matter what name we call him.
Thanks for having the confidence in me to represent neo-care here. I’ll stay in touch with the orphanage and provide regular updates on the well being of the kids. Mothers of Mercy appreciate the kindness, momma.
