In a heartwarming gesture, GCB Bank PLC has demonstrated its commitment to community welfare by extending a helping hand to the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Usmanu Nuhu Sharubutu, ahead of the Ramadan festivities.
The bank's contribution, comprising assorted food items and a substantial monetary donation of GH¢100,000, was warmly received by Sheikh Sharubutu at his residence in Accra last Friday. The generous donation included essentials such as rice, sugar, oil, dates, and beans, aimed at easing the burdens of fasting during the holy month.
John Kofi Adomakoh, the Managing Director of GCB Bank PLC, led the delegation and emphasized the institution's longstanding tradition of supporting the Chief Imam during Ramadan. He underscored the significance of solidarity and mutual respect across religious lines, highlighting the diverse composition of the bank's staff, which includes individuals from various faiths, including Islam.
Expressing gratitude for the gesture, Sheikh Sharubutu conveyed his appreciation for the bank's recognition of his responsibilities and the challenges he faces. He offered prayers for the prosperity and well-being of the bank's staff and stakeholders, invoking blessings and divine guidance.
In return, Mr. Adomakoh sought the Chief Imam's prayers for the appointment of capable leadership to steer the bank toward its mission and goals. This exchange symbolizes a harmonious collaboration between faith and business, rooted in a shared commitment to social responsibility and community welfare.
Beyond the immediate assistance provided, both parties expressed a shared aspiration for peace and harmony within the nation, emphasizing the importance of interfaith dialogue and cooperation for a cohesive society.
GCB Bank PLC's benevolent gesture serves as a shining example of corporate philanthropy, embodying the spirit of compassion and solidarity during this auspicious season of Ramadan.
