Making the presentation, the Director in-charge of Cargo at GoldStar Airlines, Nii Ashong Mettle, who presented the items on behalf of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr. Eric Bannerman, said it was part of the firm’s Corporate Social Responsibility.
“We are committed to initiatives which emphasises on youth development. There are calls for sports potentials to be developed, promoted and honoured and that is why we are here to demonstrate our love and commitment towards these kids; they are the future,” he said.
