The students were also educated on how to wear the nose masks and wash their hands properly, as well as how to observe the COVID-19 safety protocols by some members of the Rotary Club of Accra - Airport City.
Presentation
The President of the Rotary Club of Accra - Airport City, Anita Sobreh, during the presentation of the items on Wednesday, July 22, this year, urged the students to study well to enable them pass their upcoming Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
She also admonished the students to observe all the COVID-19 safety protocols when at home and in school.
She said the Rotary Club of Accra - Airport City would continue to assist vulnerable communities, particularly in the areas of education and health.
