There had been many fund raising events organized by Ghanaians around the globe in support of our national team, the Black Stars’ participation at their first World Cup soccer tournament. One super powerhouse organization in New York; The National Council of Ghanaian Associations (NCOGA) has followed the footsteps of the donors and raised funds for such a good cause.
On Friday, June 9, 2006, while the Black Stars were preparing to fly to Hannover, Germany to play their first game against Italy, the Executives of NCOGA presented a check for $2000 on behalf of NCOGA to the Counsul General, Hon. Obeng Gyan Busia at the Ghana Mission in New York.
The President of NCOGA; Mr. Ernest Atta Amoyaw who made the presentation said the gesture was part of the humanitarian support to encourage the Black Stars’ participation in the world cup in Germany.
On his part, Hon. Obeng Gyan Busia who is always present to grace an occasion thanked NCOGA for their love and determination in assisting the Black Stars as they embark on the arduous task ahead of them in Germany.
