   On New Year’s Day, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and his wife, Samira, took the opportunity to celebrate the festive season with cured lepers from the Weija Leprosarium. The couple warmly hosted the lepers at their residence in Accra, ensuring they experienced the joy of the Yuletide with a special meal and drinks. Dr. Bawumia and his wife personally served their guests, making the occasion even more meaningful, and reassured them of their continued support, even after Dr. Bawumia’s term ends on January 7, 2025.

Dr. Bawumia shared his joy on social media, writing about the fulfilling experience of spending New Year’s Day with his friends from the Weija Leprosarium. He expressed his deep gratitude for the opportunity to spend time with them, stating, “It was all joy, as I spent New Year’s Day with my cured leper friends from the Weija Leprosarium.” The event was a testament to Dr. Bawumia’s genuine connection with these individuals, and his efforts to make them feel valued, especially during the holiday season.

As the Patron of Lepers Aid Ghana, Dr. Bawumia has been dedicated to supporting the Weija Leprosarium for several years. Over the past eight years, he has provided various forms of assistance, including rice, cooking oil, water, drinks, and cash donations to help improve the lives of the cured lepers. His continued efforts reflect his commitment to ensuring that the lepers receive the necessary resources to live with dignity and care.

Dr. Bawumia’s compassion for the vulnerable members of society extends beyond mere financial contributions. He believes that the privileged should always extend a helping hand to those in need, and his actions are a reflection of this belief. His kindness is evident in his personal involvement with the Weija Leprosarium, where he not only donates but also spends quality time with the people he supports.

The Vice President’s empathy was further demonstrated during Christmas when he welcomed a young girl named Priscilla, a four-year-old cured leper, into his home. Dr. Bawumia had personally sponsored Priscilla’s treatment in Italy, where she underwent a life-changing medical procedure to repair her severed legs. This act of kindness and support was a reflection of Dr. Bawumia’s commitment to making a difference in the lives of those who face significant challenges. Dr. Bawumia described Priscilla’s recovery as the “best Christmas gift,” underscoring his deep emotional connection to the vulnerable in society.

Through these personal interactions, Dr. Bawumia continues to demonstrate his belief in the power of compassion, not just during the festive season, but throughout the year. His genuine care for those who are marginalized serves as an inspiration for others in society, encouraging them to offer support to those who are less fortunate. By serving meals to the cured lepers at the Weija Leprosarium and giving Priscilla the chance to receive medical treatment, Dr. Bawumia shows that leadership involves much more than political duties – it requires a commitment to the welfare and well-being of the people, especially those who may otherwise be overlooked.

As Dr. Bawumia prepares to leave office in 2025, his legacy of compassion and support for the vulnerable members of society will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact. His work with the Weija Leprosarium and other charitable initiatives is a reminder that kindness, empathy, and generosity play a vital role in shaping a better society. Through his example, Dr. Bawumia encourages others to take action and contribute to the well-being of those who need it the most, ensuring that the spirit of giving continues long after the holidays have passed.
