Director

CHRISTOPHER ACHEAMPONG, BComm, PGDip, MSc.

Christopher Nehemiah Acheampong, I am a firm believer in the Bible phrase "To whom much is given, much will be required" (Luke 12:48). This is why over the years, I have worked with and volunteered for charity organisations like the Oxfam Ireland and the Cork Simon Community. Just to mention two.

At Oxfam, I used my knowledge and experience in sales to raise funds for small-scale farmers and artisans from developing countries in the Fair Trade Shop. And at Cork Simon Community l devoted my time and resources to help raise vital funds to support the vulnerable citizens of Cork. One of the things that brings me true satisfaction is being able to help someone. Even the smallest act of kindness and assistance brings me great joy. What ARK Outreach stands for and the work they do is very dear to my heart. So to witness what the wonderful team behind ARK is doing, using their talents and resources to give back the gift of health/medical care to the people from our roots is highly rewarding. Being a member of this selfless group and playing a part in this effort and initiative is a blessing and a fulfilment and I intend to keep it that way. So help me God!
