THE Hohoe branch of Barclays Bank, Ghana has feted 400 pupils selected from three junior high schools (JHS) as part of its “Make a Difference Day Celebration” held at Hohoe.
The beneficiary schools were the Evangelical Presbyterian, Experimental and New Town Municipal Assembly JHS.
As part of the celebration, Barclays Bank officials taught the students lessons in Mathematics, English and Science after which each of them took home exercise books and pens.
In addition, a counselling exercise was held for them on several issues, including respect for their parents and teachers, drug abuse and the need to learn hard in school.
Food and drinks were served to the participants.
The Co-ordinator for the programme, Mr Sterlington Horsoo of the Hohoe branch of Barclays Bank, said such programmes were organised annually to enable the staff to reach out to the people in the community as part of its social responsibility.
He said last year, the bank held the programme at the Volta School for the Deaf at Hohoe.
In a chat, the Headmaster of E.P. JHS, Mr Sylva-Eric Woname, said they were very excited about the programme since it would motivate the students to aim high.
