Rotary International Prez Desires Stronger Bond With Otumfuo Foundation

The President of Rotary International, Francesco Arezzo, has expressed a desire to forge stronger ties with the non-governmental organisation of the Monarch of the Asante Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

Outlining the mission of his global association in championing peace, fighting illiteracy and poverty, helping people get access to clean water and sanitation, fighting diseases such as polio and championing environmental protection, he affirmed that these are shared by the Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Foundation (Otumfuo Foundation).

“We have the same value in service. We have the same values in integrity. We have the same values with respect of diversity. We work on school, hunger and peace. We share the same values and could have a good future.”

The Rotary International President thereby sees the need to forge a deeper friendship to advance the vision and cause they both hold.

“We can work together to support each other and solve relevant problems of humanity. We want to work closely with your foundation and do things for communities in Ghana. This is my wish for the future.”

He made these remarks when he visited the Manhyia Palace together with his wife, Anna Maria Criscione.

His delegation also included the Governor of the District 9104, Nana Yaa Pokua Siriboe, Incoming Governor Frank Owusu Debrah, Past Governor Jeffery Afful, Past Governor David Osei Amankwah Junior, and others.

The delegation was received by Baffour Owusu Amankwatia VI, Bantamahene, who represented Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene, as His Majesty is currently out of the country on a leave of absence.
