The Black Stars of Ghana have donated to the Dworwulu Special School before their departure to Luanda for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Angola.

The players also spent time with the kids as they engaged them in a friendly moment.
'’On behalf of the Ghana Football Association, the Black Stars Technical team and my colleagues, we came here to spend time with you (inmates) and to offer our little support to you as part of our contribution to your growth,’’ Ayew said, as quoted by the FA's official website.
‘’For us, we believe that lending a hand of support is divine and a virtue that we all need to develop to help the underprivileged in society. We have been making a lot of donations and visitations before games but today, we thought it wise to come over here and support you," he added.
‘’We seek your prayers and support going into our crucial game against Angola on Friday."
