Presidential hopeful Marie Sock on Saturday travelled to the Bundung Maternal and Child Health Hospital to give new mothers starter baby kits.
Ten new mothers were each given a pan containing a laundry basket, chair, a stool and a bucket. They were also each given a bag stuffed with essential items such as shampoo, body lotion, and baby pads.
Speaking at the event, Sock said she every year partners with Good Deeds Day by going to communities and doing good things there.
“This year we selected the maternity ward in Bundung. If you notice all these time, we have women dying of childbirth and also the stress of having a baby nowadays.
“So we just feel that this is a moment to give back to these mothers that made it through with their babies. Just a little help,” Sock said.
Hospital officials thanked Socked for assisting the new mothers. Sock was accompanied by members of her team.
Omar Ceesay, Bundung Maternal and Child Health Hospital PRO said: “She has demonstrated that she cares for the people in her community, she cares for the women.
“The plight of women is so important to her, that is why she partnered with others to come here to support so that they have a very beautiful start.”
