Mr. Benny Fiifi Ashun, the Marketing and Public Relations Manager who made the presentation on behalf of the company said “Ghacem Foundation has been in the business of supporting the construction of schools and hospitals with bags of cement all over the country and so it is not out of place to donate two trucks of cement for rebuilding of the Appiatse community which will definitely have schools and hospitals. Per our line of duty as the foundation, we feel compelled to also send in this donation”
