This year on Boxing Day, around 500 street children in Kumasi were feted by James Yebuah Mensah, well known as Pap Jay, the host of the YFM Mid-morning radio show in Kumasi, and his friends.
For the last three years, PapJay and Friends has been hosting events to generate money for charitable endeavors in the Ashanti Region.
At this year’s Bronya Nkwan event, held at Kumasi’s Greenwood Event Centre, the radio host treated attendees to a variety of soups and fufu.
The goal of this year’s event, like it was in previous years, was to give street children packaged dinners in order to make them smile.

“We intend to feed as many as 500 street children within the Kumasi metropolis,” he told the Graphic Showbiz.
He claimed in the inaugural edition that the program had donated some consumables to the Mampong Government Hospital as well as raised money for renovations to the infant unit.
Last year, “we fed 300 street children and this year we decided to increase the number to 500,” he said.
According to Mr. Mensah, the program is now permanent and will be included every year on his schedule.
For him, it’s a means of giving back to the community and making the less fortunate in it smile.
