“In the face of this pandemic, we at Botweburg thought it essential to give back to the community. Over the past months, Botweburg has embarked on COVID-19 education campaign on social media, and the team decided it was necessary to put actions to our words and put together items to help the students. As members of this community, we decided to make this presentation to the Nii Sowah Din Memorial Cluster of Schools to ensure the safety of the staff and pupils here. Even though we did not bring a truck load of items, it is our gesture of the support and willingness to give back to the community,” Francis Doku said.
