To whom much is given, much is expected. That will be the key message from Garrison Basic School on Tuesday when they make a special donation to the Dzorwulu Special School.
The 2012 winners of the prestigious Mil Junior Ball Championship will spend a day with the less privileged in society and present half of their winning prize to the school.
The prizes will include 4 Cartoons of Milo RTD, 4 boxes of Milo 20g, 4 cartoons of Ideal Milk 410g and 4 boxes of Ideal Powder plus 200 Ghana Cedis Cash.
The move forms part of Garriosn’s social responsibility hypothesis where the children are being thought the culture of sharing with those on the breadline in society, no matter how small or big the package is.
The children are being thought the art of showing care, affection and love to their fellow friends in dire need.
High-ranking officials of title sponsors Nestle Milo and officials of Rite Multimedia will be present at the historic ceremony.
