The group was supported by Asempa FM, Salt FM, Kings Radio, and Adansae FM to among others make the project a success.
The leader, as part of the donation, admonished the pupils to remain focused on their studies and always strive for mastery by overcoming challenges and circumstances on campus and at home.
He added that they shouldn’t despise their humble beginning but aim for the best and assured them of more support and also from the Asante Akyem Youth Union Movement that seeks to engage in youth participation through youth empowerment and educational path.
