MTN Ghana Foundation has organized its annual Christmas parties for about 1200 children at Kordiabe RC Basic School and Abokobi Presbyterian Basic School.

The Christmas parties were organised to give children of the two communities the opportunity to share in the joy of the season. They were also presented with teaching and learning aids such as pens, pencils, crayons, erasers, sharpeners, rulers, storybooks, textbooks and A4 sheets to management of the schools.

In addition to the donation pupils got the opportunity to engage in “play and learn” activities that build their cognitive skills.

Commenting on the event, Acting Corporate Services, Mr. Robert Kuzoe said” it’s exciting to use the Christmas occasion to reach out to the children in an informal way and to celebrate this special season with them.

He said, “The children are the future of Ghana and we always have to make room for them in our end of year activities”.

Over the years, MTN Ghana Foundation has partnered with likeminded organisations to support the needy and under privileged in society during Christmas. On 26th December the MTN Ghana Foundation will distribute hampers to mother of babies who are born on the 25th of December at selected hospitals across the country.
