The presentation was part of the annual thanksgiving initiative of the foundation. The donation was also to show love to the needy institutions during the Christmas and New Year celebrations.

Items donated included bags of rice, cooking oil, sardine, corned beef, milo, milk, washing powder, cartons of key soap etc.

Mephibosheth Training Centre (MTC) in particular received 100 bags of cement as support for the school dining project; a washing machine, washing powder, provisions and cash donation.

The National Coordinator of the Zoomlion Foundation, Mrs. Sarah Kyei, who donated the items on behalf of the Executive Chairman of Zoomlion and Jospong Group of Companies, Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong said the donation was part of the Foundation's Corporate Social Responsibility initiative.
