In a remarkable act of philanthropy, American-based business tycoon and entrepreneur, Mr. Alhassan Awal has donated 60 bags of sugar to the people of Tamale Central to support them during the holy month of Ramadan. Understanding the economic hardships facing many households in Ghana, especially during this period of fasting, Mr. Awal extended this humanitarian gesture to alleviate some of the burdens on families.
Despite being away for several years, Mr. Awal has maintained a strong connection with his home constituency, consistently offering various forms of support. His contributions extend beyond this latest donation, as he has been actively involved in paying school fees for needy students, supporting widows, donating to mosques, and contributing to naming ceremonies, weddings, and funeral events within Tamale Central. This latest act of generosity is yet another testament to his unwavering commitment to the welfare of his people.
The donation was made on his behalf by an able team, consisting of dignified individuals like Adam Mutia and other members of his advisory council, who ensured that the sugar reached those who needed it most. This initiative has been widely praised by community members, who acknowledge Mr. Awal’s continuous dedication to their well-being.
Beyond his philanthropic efforts, Mr. Alhassan Awal has made history as the first African to be elected President of AFSCME Local 2218 (American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees) in New Jersey, USA. Under his leadership, he has been re-elected for three consecutive terms, a clear indication of his effectiveness and commitment to serving workers’ interests.
His leadership in AFSCME has seen significant progress in labor rights advocacy, political engagement, and union mobilization, making him one of the most influential African leaders in the American labor movement. His achievements in both business and humanitarian work continue to inspire many, reinforcing his reputation as a leader devoted to positive change both abroad and at home.
Mr. Awal’s latest donation is yet another reflection of his belief in giving back to his roots and ensuring that his people benefit from his success. As Ramadan continues, his support serves as a symbol of unity, care, and compassion within the Tamale central constituency.
