Some of the notes written by the visitors include: “What an encouraging way for an organization to promote hand washing, Hand washing is good, hand washing saves lives,” among others.
When the GNA visited the office, the Communications officer of World Vision Mr Washington Mawuli Nuworkpor, said there were also events going on at their various offices.
