Accra, September 6, 2011: The Ghana Blind Union (formerly the Ghana Association of the Blind) will soon be beneficiaries of financial support, thanks to the collaborative efforts of Japan Motors and e.tv Ghana. This September 17th, Japan Motors in conjunction with e.tv Ghana have joined heads to organize a 5km Corporate Run that is aimed at bringing different corporate institutions in Ghana together as an innovative approach to networking through a team-building physical activity. The proceeds from the event will be donated to support the Ghana Blind Union.

The two companies are collaborating to provide a unique platform to all corporate bodies to network and interact with their colleagues from other fields in a way that has never been done before.

Whatever we get from this event will be used to support the Ghana Blind Union (formerly Ghana Association of the Blind).”

E.tv Ghana is serious about contributing its quota to a healthy nation; we are even more thrilled that that we will be donating the proceeds from the event to support our visually-impaired brothers and sisters.”
