Despite the\u00a0challenges confronting the children in these communities like unavailability of public toilets and running tap water, the children say they are looking forward to celebrating this\u00a0Christmas with Staff of Citi FM.<\/p>\n

The Human Resource Manager and the Head of Citi FM\u2019s Corporate Social Responsibility Mrs Jenifer Anane Nsiah said the two towns were selected because they fit the criteria of what the station wanted.<\/p>\n

Mrs Nsiah said, \u2018\u2019 you know, last year, we extended\u00a0this gesture to children in Sota and Abonya which are located in the Shai Osudoku District of the Greater Accra Region.<\/p>\n

But this year, we decided that these towns should be selected because of their peculiar challenges. Even though they are located within the City, they are very disadvantaged in many ways.<\/p>\n
