Diana Hamilton Calls On Asantehene
Veteran gospel musician Diana Hamilton has paid a courtesy call on Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II at the Manhyia Palace.
The visit on February 21, 2024 was in the company of her husband, Dr Joseph Hamilton, and representatives of her lead sponsors including Mr Daniel Eduam, the Kumasi Branch Manager for Enterprise Life Insurance, Mark Mensah Abban, the Middle Belt Sales and Distribution Manager for Awake Natural Mineral Water and Tony Afoakwa, the Managing Director for Property Electronics.
The 2021 Vodafone Gospel Artiste of the Year was led by the Chairman of the Heal KATH Project Committee, Sammy Adu Boakye.
Speaking on her behalf, Mr Adu Boakye said the purpose of the visit was to seek the King’s blessings to host the second session of her Awake Experience concert at Bantama in Kumasi.
“Diana has instituted an annual concert she calls Awake Experience and this year marks 10 years since it began. She hasn’t been here to inform you since it began and today happens to be the best occasion for it. This Sunday, she will host the second session of the concert in Kumasi after a successful one in Accra over the weekend and she needs your blessings.”
He also communicated her readiness to perform at the 25th enstoolment Anniversary of the King.
Donation
The brand ambassador for Awake Natural Mineral Water, Enterprise Life Insurance and Property Electronics used the occasion to announce some donations by the companies to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH).
She informed His Majesty about an amount of Gh¢20,000 donated towards the revenue mobilisation project for the renovation of the hospital by Enterprise Insurance.
In addition to that, she communicated Property Electronics’ donation of an air conditioner, fridge and microwave to furnish one of the nurses’ offices in KATH.
In her address, she recalled how she had to cope with eating her home-made food cold while she trained with the KATH Nursing and Midwifery School and worked for the hospital years back due to the lack of some essential appliances in the nurses’ offices.
Welcoming the delegation, the occupant of the Golden Stool counselled Diana to leverage on her Ministry to win souls for Christ.
“Singing is a gift from God and through that people get converted, others are counselled, others get entertained and others get consoled. Such is the gift from God and he has chosen to give it to you.”
Assuring her of his prayers, His Majesty encouraged her to ply her Ministry in humility and not let the greed for money get the better of her.
“Focus on the salvation of the masses,” he counselled.
He also urged her spouse and sponsors to continue supporting her.
