Koforidua, May 3, GNA - The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Alumni branch of District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia in the US on Tuesday donated used clothing to the Tertiary Education Workers Union (TEWU) of the University in Kumasi. Presenting the items the President of the Association, Mr Kwaku Boateng, said the donation aimed at showing appreciation to what they had benefited from their alma mater.

He said the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia branch, which is a subsidiary of the North America KNUST Alumni, intended to furnish various departments of the university with audio-visual communication gadgets to facilitate teaching and learning.
