The Heritage Caravan began day four of its activities with a donation of items worth thousands of cedis and a cash sum of GHS2,600 to the chiefs and people of Duko, a deprived community in the Savelugu Municipality in the Northern Region.
The items donated to the community included clothes solicited from listeners and viewers of Citi FM/TV.
A cash sum of GHS2,600 was also added to the donated items by patrons of the 2020 edition of the Heritage Caravan.
Managing Director of Citi FM/TV, Samuel Attah-Mensah during a short ceremony to donate the items also announced that from next year, 2021, the company will adopt some deprived communities and highlight their challenges to attract the needed developmental projects.
“I’m forced to go ahead of myself and announce that the adoption of the villages starts with Duko. From next year, we’ll be spending a lot of time here doing some of the development projects. This is just to show our appreciation for how you have received us,” he said.
