Hobsons' employees "were welcomed with open arms and hearts" by the children, women and men of the Techiman community.
The community of Techiman has 270 students, with 100% attendance and 100% pass rate at the school since Plan's involvement.
Before Hobsons sponsored the school in Techiman, the children were going to school in makeshift rooms without proper roofs, floors, or walls.
Women, men, local chiefs and village elders gathered to greet their visitors.
Children of all ages came to meet their visitors.
