 The Founder of 18Plus4NDC, a youth wing of the National Dem­ocratic Congress (NDC), Ms Brid­get Bonnie has urged young mothers not to put their career dreams on hold due to parentage atan early age.

According to Ms Bonnie, young mothers could still pursue their dreams in education, career and other ambitions to the highest level despite having a child.

“Do not put your dreams on hold because you give birth at an early age. Young mothers should pursue their dreams and hopefully with the help of God they can become self-sufficient and take good care of their children,” she stated.

Ms Bonniegave this advice last weekend when she donated five sewing machines to some apprentices at Ada in the Greater Accra Region to assist them establish their business­es.

She also gave groceries to over 50 young mothers as well as provisions and new clothes to some widows and urged families to support young mothers to take care of their children while they pursue their dreams.

“With family support and encour­agement, young mothers can go back to school, learn a trade and make a decent living to take care of their children and the family at large,” he stated.

The donation was done by Bridget Bonnie and friends in partnership with Anchor Aid Foundation as part of the young politician’s birthday celebrations.

Ms Bonnie who turned 33 this month, earlier held a blood donation exercise at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra to assist the blood bank.

According to her, the lifesaving ex­ercise, which was the fourth edition, would go a long way to save many lives at the facility while expressing ap­preciation to the many young people who turned out for the exercise.

The 18Plus4NDC, is a net­work of social democrats that upholds the principles and values of the NDC.
