Her presence further inspired and encouraged the pupils to aspire for more in their academic pursuits.

Speaking on behalf of AT, Public Relations Manager, Felicia Evame Thornhill commended the committee overseeing the development and wellbeing of Sokpoe post-flooding. Their unwavering commitment towards their community aligns seamlessly with AT’s purpose of touching lives, and making a positive impact in the lives of people.

She said, “The success of the event was made possible through the collective efforts of AT employees, who generously contributed in the form of cash and kindness towards this initiative.” she encouraged the students to work hard with the hope that they would consider careers in STEM.

Speaking at the event, the Headmistress of Sokpoe PCG Primary School, Madam Winner, expressed gratitude to AT for their kind gesture. She remarked, “Your visit today would go a long way to inspire the students and we hope for more of such visits and support”.

Some dignitaries in attendance were the school Improvement Support Officer (SISO), Mr. Samuel Agbevem, the Reverend Minister of Sokpoe PCG, the Chairperson of Sokpoe PCG School, Fred Aduna, the Sokpoe Relief Steering Committee Chairman, Mr. Robert Avenorgbo, Assemblyman of Sokpoe, Staff of Sokpoe PCG, Mentees from Ada College of Education and some community members.
