Director of Programmes, Kofi Owusu, tells JOY News that the station is impressed with the public support for the event.
He however indicated that beyond feeding the street children, the station’s ultimate aim is to highlight the plight of street children for the necessary attention from the relevant stakeholders.

Some of the donors who spoke to JOY News noted that their desire to help others, especially the vulnerable and underprivileged in society, motivated them to donate towards this year’s event.
