Wellness Wednesday 2023 - Record Breaking Attendance
In 2023, the popularity of Wellness Wednesday among children living in street situations has grown significantly from an average of 15 attendees to a record 47 attendees.
Anytime we had special programs involving large-scale cooking, Dorcas would always volunteer to cook to help us with the large numbers.
As a young girl growing up, Dorcas was always seeing her mother helping out the disadvantaged individuals around her. This ignited a passion within her to do same with what she has available.
As the Resident Life Coordinator here at the FOA Norviwo Community Centre, Dorcas ensures that the entire facility is in top condition and is well-resourced with good food.
Incidentally, prior to joining FOA, Dorcas had just finished a catering and decoration course to add to her experience as a caterer. She really loves cooking! It brings her so much joy whenever people enjoy her dishes.
Dorcas graduated from the St. Catherine Girls Senior High School in the Volta Region.
