Stephanie Karikari, Miss Ghana 2010 winner has treated orphans from the Teshie Orphanage to a day’s movie-watching experience at the Silverbird Cinema at the Accra Mall.
Some 30 children and their supervisors, at the invitation of the reigning beauty queen savoured every moment of the three-hour session whilst reveling in the great Hollywood studio-produced 3D film, Narnia.
From the taking of photo shots with Stephanie to feeding on some delicious pop corns and drinks, the orphans, most of whom were visiting the Cinema for the first time, relished the aura that came with spending quality time with Miss Ghana 2010.
Stephanie in turn, made her guests feel much at home by sharing jokes with them, cuddling the very young ones and serving them with some of the many freebies available for grabs.
Later, she donated products from Ghandour Cosmetics to the Orphanage and said: “society loves and cares for you. Forever, I will remain a true friend of the Orphanage. Be good boys and girls and never let the fact that you are orphans tear you down”.
Officials of the Silverbird Cinema led by the Acting General Manager Victoria Owusu said her outfit was more than pleased to have hosted the orphans, adding that as an entity, this was one of the ways of contributing their quota to society.
Representatives of the Orphanage also thanked Stephanie and the management of Silverbird for their gesture, promising to pass on the messages of hope and encouragement given them, to the other inmates of the Orphanage.
The Teshie Orphanage was started in July 1995, with 22 children, 13 boys and 9 girls by an indigene of the area Mrs. Janet Anyeley Parker. It seeks to among other things provide food and clothes for the poor and needy children, establish
pre-schooling, child nutrition centers, to help the poor, aged and the disabled financially and in kind, to provide social services for needy teenage mothers and to organize for them vocational training, to improve women’s social status and enhance their involvement in the development process, to run educational, health care clinics and awareness-raising programmes, relating to women and children, to establish small productive projects for women and provide guidance on household economy and to protect and improve the environment.
The support from Stephanie is one of several others they receive all year round.

What Every Rider Should Know About Motorcycle Safety
Thousands of motorcycle riders lose their lives each year in accidents, and many of these accidents are preventable. Other drivers on the road need to be alert to these vehicles and take proactive measures to avoid a collision. More people are choosing to ride motorcycles today because of high gas prices, so a person must always be vigilant.
Many accidents are the fault of the driver rather than the motorcycle rider. How can vehicles share the road with bikers? What should you know if you are injured on your motorcycle by a driver? How could they have avoided this accident?
Blind Spots
Drivers must always check their blind spots when merging and changing lanes. Motorcycles are often hard to see, as they are smaller than passenger cars. Motorcycles blend in with other shapes in the side and rear-view mirrors, so drivers should always take a second look when bikers are on the road. This one step could save countless lives each year.
Take Care When Passing
Cars are legally allowed to pass motorcycles on the road like other vehicles. However, when doing so, drivers need to know that passing the bike creates a gust of wind. This wind could make the bike unstable and lead to an accident. Alert the biker to the lane change by using the turn signal. Do not return to the lane the biker is in until there are several car lengths between the vehicle and the bike.
Weather Considerations
Bad weather can happen at any time. It may be beautiful outside only to have the skies open up and pour down rain. For those driving a car, this downpour is probably nothing more than an inconvenience. For bikers, however, any bad weather can be dangerous. Rain makes the roads slick for both cars and motorcycles, so accidents are more likely to happen. When it is windy outside, a biker might find it hard to keep the motorcycle on the road. In addition, motorcycles are hard to see when conditions deteriorate, so drivers need to take more care on the road to avoid accidents involving bikes.
Night Riders
Many men and women love to ride their bikes at night. Drivers need to be vigilant when out after dark to avoid accidents. They should increase their following distance and turn off their high beams when a motorcycle approaches.
Avoid Lane-Sharing
Motorcycles are small vehicles, so a driver might assume they can share a lane with the bike. Doing so is illegal. Bikers are allowed their own lane just as cars are. Sharing a lane with a bike significantly increases the odds of an accident.
Use Turn Signals
Both drivers and bikes need to use their turn signals routinely. Drivers should turn the signal on sooner than they normally would if a motorcycle is behind them in traffic. This gives the biker time to alter their speed or make other adjustments to accommodate for the vehicle turning.
Take Extra Care in Intersections
Intersections are dangerous for both cars and motorcycles. Blind intersections are a common cause of accidents, so drivers and bikers must take extra care when approaching. Always come to a complete stop, look all ways for other vehicles, and proceed slowly through the intersection.
Motorcycles are never involved in fender-benders or other minor accidents. The rider and passenger are completely exposed so any accident could result in serious injuries or fatalities. Drivers are responsible for their actions on the road just as bikers are. When all parties look out for one another, accidents will decrease. This is something every person wants to see today.
