Recycling up, an NGO working to educate and empower Ghanaian youth to develop local solutions to waste problems has partnered with Mckingtorch Africa to have over 70 Achimota School students fabricate a 20 feet tall waste bottles Christmas tree on their campus in time for the carols night event.
This is not the first time such a collaboration is taking place.
