In a video shared on social media, the Ghana international and the French entrepreneurs visited the home to deliver the items.
"Together, we can make a difference! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us in supporting this event at the Royal Seed Orphanage Home. Your generosity brings hope and change to those who need it most. Thank you," wrote the BT Foundation, thanking those who supported the course.
The support came in the form of food items, water and toiletries, as well as cash donations.
The day was also filled with several activities, including engaging the children in sporting activities and cultural dancing.
"It's the festive season, and the year has ended. Me coming here is a plus. It is a New Year, and we want to celebrate the day with them. Also, you can see the items—food, clothes, and a lot of items. We just want to bless them so they can feel hope and know there is someone who is thinking about them," said Tekpetey.
Tekpetey opens up on Ghana neglect
Bernard Tekpetey has enjoyed success with his club Ludogorets in Bulgaria, winning multiple titles and playing a pivotal role in the team.
However, he has continuously been shunned by handlers of the senior national team, a situation that has left the striker frustrated.
“Sometimes it hurts because, as a player, you know you are playing your best at the highest level,” Tekpetey said in a recent interview with Asempa FM.
"Sometimes you are tempted to compare the players called to the national team to yourself. However, I feel it is the decision of the coach to call players who he thinks will suit his plan," he added.
The former Schalke O4 striker is currently recovering from an injury that has kept him out for several months as he makes a return to competitive football.
