The Tema Regional Office of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) on Friday celebrated National Chocolate Day with children at the Tema General Hospital Children's ward.  The interaction was aimed at smiling with the children on admission and their parents.  The staff of the GTA-Tema Region during the celebration shared bars of chocolate with the children, giving them hope.  Gifty Offeibea Koranteng, the Director of the GTA Tema Office, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that the celebration was to show care to the children in accordance with the theme for the National Chocolate Week celebration.  Gifty Koranteng indicated that the theme for the celebration is "Eat Chocolate, Stay Healthy, Grow Ghana," with a sub-theme "Chocolate for all: Taste, Share and Care."  She said the initiative by the tourism ministry to use Valentine's Day to promote the consumption of Ghana's chocolate has helped whip up interest in cocoa products and take the minds of the youth from immoral activities.  She said the visit to the children's ward has brought to the fore the need to educate parents and the public on safety as some of the children on admission were in the condition they are in because of the negligence of their parents.  According to her, some left hot water unattended and the children fell into it, while others also kept soda at the reach of children leading to them drinking it.  Gifty Koranteng further noted that the administrator of the hospital has drawn their attention to the playground of the children's ward, which needs some upgrades.  She said they would follow the request to their head office to see if they could adopt it and support it by fencing it and putting the right playthings in there to cheer the children up when on admission.  You can also watch as some Ghanaians share what they consider the best and worst Valentine's Day gifts below:
