Chocho Launches 2nd Interfaith Games

Chocho Industries has launched the 2nd annual Chocho National inter-faith Games and exhibition show at the Media Centre of the Accra Stadium.
The games, scheduled for July 1 at the Mensah Sabah Park, Legon will attract various religious groups in the country who will battle for the brand new Opel Astra caravan and a giant trophy in an all-play-all gala competition as well as tug-of-war.
Unlike the maiden edition which focused on the promotion of peace, this year’s will highlight on the promotion of made in Ghana goods.
