The occasion was graced by Ghanaians from all walks of life from the UK, Holland, Belguim and France.
Mama Afia expressed her gratitude to all those who sacrificed their busy schedule to join her in her celebration of life. She was optimistic and contends with her 30 years stay abroad and her achievement but was quick to add "I feel it’s time to go home for home sweet home and there is no place like home".
The children Millicent, Mavis and Miranda donated an amount of £3000 to their beloved mum for her tender loving care towards them.
Her grandson Harris Boateng also recited a poem he had written about the grand mum which saw tears down her cheeks.
