In total an amount of ¥1,775,560 equivalent of ₵92,332 was donated by Ghanaian community in Japan to the COVID-19 Trust Fund through the Embassy of Ghana in Tokyo.

 

Acting on behalf of the government of Ghana, H.E Frank Kwame Antwi Okyere, expressed his profound gratitude to the Ghanaian community for their benevolence and quick response to his call.

 

He used the opportunity to inform the Ghanaian community of the launch of JAFRIQ radio, a recently launched online radio station that is dedicated to serving Ghanaians in Japan and Asia, in particular, and Ghanaians in the diaspora in general.
