In a heart-warming display of international goodwill, a delegation from the United States Marines have visited the offices of Missing Children Ghana in Accra.

Led by GySgt Michael A. Elias, the team, representing the U.S. Embassy's USMC Detachment, arrived with a mission to spread cheer as part of their annual Toys for Tots Campaign Donation.

The Executive Director of Missing Children Ghana, Regina Asamoah, expressed deep gratitude for being chosen among the recipients, emphasizing the significant impact such contributions have on their mission.

The visit provided an opportune moment for Ms. Asamoah to acquaint the U.S. Marines with the impactful work undertaken by Missing Children Ghana.

In her address, Ms. Asamoah said "The generosity displayed by the U.S. Marines is not just a gift; it's a lifeline for these children. Their smiles are a testament to the profound impact made by this thoughtful contribution."

The donated toys and more will play a pivotal role in continuing the organisation's mission to positively impact the lives of children. The beaming smiles on the faces of the children present during the donation served as a poignant reminder of the tangible difference such gestures make.

As the delegation interacted with the children, the smiles on their faces painted a vivid picture of the positive change being brought about by this collaboration.

The palpable joy in the room underscored the transformative effect of such acts of kindness.

The event culminated in a resounding "Ayekoo" to the United States Marines from the Missing Children Ghana team, acknowledging and applauding the Marines for their commitment to making a positive difference in the Accra community.

The collaboration between Missing Children Ghana and the U.S. Marines exemplifies the power of international partnerships in creating a brighter future for children in need.

About Missing Children Ghana

Missing Children Ghana (MCG) is the first non-profit and Public Benefit Organization in Ghana that engages the Ghana Police Service and Department of Social Welfare when a person (especially a Child) goes missing in Ghana, for any reason whatsoever.

Missing Children Ghana officially launched on May 23, 2023, started as an Initiative by Multiple Award-Winning Ghanaian Journalist, Regina Asamoah. Regina Asamoah has since May 2021 reunited hundreds of Missing Children in Ghana through her Missing Children Documentary Series.

The initiative which started as a documentary has evolved into a full project not just investigating where Missing Children are kept awaiting reunification but also giving the platform for families whose children are missing to share details that can help in contract tracing.

MCG reaches out to enlist the help of professionals and organizations in the child protection sector and the public in the search of missing children. MCG uses various media platforms to share information to bring public awareness to cases of missing children and increase search efforts.

MCG provides affected families with knowledge and resources throughout the search and reunification while ensuring that all its services are free so that all families in need of help receive it, regardless of their financial situation.

MCG remains committed to the search as long as there are missing children.

Presently, MCG counts the Ghana Italian Women Association (GIWA) and IPMC Ghana among its collaborative partners.
