Rotary Club of Accra La East has donated items worth over ¢5,000 to the South Labone Junior Girls Vocational Centre in Osu, Accra.
The items donated to the Centre include cooking oil, bags of rice, flour, beans, gari, liquid soap, washing powder, toiletries, yam, and plantain, among others.
President of the Club, Julia Asante Anim, explained the donation formed part of this year’s Rotary Christmas celebrations and that it was necessary for the club to have identified a facility and contribute its quota.
Ms. Anim added that the provision of the food and other items was a knock on the door of the Centre to present other opportunities to them in terms of education and shelter.
