According to Myles-Mills, \u201cevery year we try to help the needy in society and this year we decided to partner Citi FM because of the stories we have heard and the plight of the needy and the fact that an institution like ours can do something to help.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Receiving the donation, Programmes Manager of Citi FM<\/strong> Jessica Opare-Saforo said, \u201con behalf of the many orphans whose lives are going to be transformed by this gesture, we say thank you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
