Also on hand were actor Kwadwo Nkansah Lilwin and broadcaster Abeiku Santana, among others, were at the new AMA office to help distribute 2000 hot meals, 1500 packs of water and 1500 packs of drinks plus assorted items.
Beneficiary areas present at the gathering are Kayayees from Osu, Tema station, Darkuma, Tudu, Agbobloshie, Zongo, Fadama, Nima and the Cocoa Marketing Board (CMB).
There was a dance challenge between the various Kayayoo communities and the physically challenged persons there.
