Twenty eight communities including Tegeni, Badu, Battorkope, Avutoe, Ada Ntetia, Zion, Avudzega, Galilea,Menekofe and Akwetekofe on the Dwarf Island received items such as bags of cement, roofing sheets, exercise books, footballs and sets of jerseys amd exercise books.
The rest of the items received are teachers desks, dual desks, Solar lights, generators, plastic chairs, galvanized pipes, gari processing machine, aprons, nose masks, wheel chairs, Blood Pressure Monitors and hospital beds.
