United Way Ghana and Volunteers from New York University Implements Environmental Awareness Project at La Yehoshua and Association Cluster of School

United Way Ghana, in collaboration with dedicated volunteers from the New York University, recently joined hands to foster environmental awareness and promote sustainable practices at La Yehoshua and Association Cluster of School.

This initiative not only beautifies the school but also reinforces the importance of nurturing and caring for our natural surroundings.
