The Municipal Education Director, Ms. Gloria Kwakuyi, welcomed the pupils and distributed the learning materials, indicating that the materials were provided by the Hon. Municipal Chief Executive, Mr. Freeman Tsekpo, in support of their educational journey.
The team visited the Blessed Clementina School and the Ashaiman Cluster of Schools. At Blessed Clementina, a total of 63 pupils benefited — 13 in KG1, 15 in KG2, and 35 in Basic 1.
