The CEO of FOCOS, Prof. Oheneba Boachie-Adjei, in his speech commended Mr. Svanikier for donating the bus to ease the transportation burdens of staff at the hospital.

We thank you very much for your donation and we hope that you will also appreciate what we are going to do with it. We will make sure we take good care of it and our staff really thank you.”
Explaining the rationale behind his donation Mr. Thomas Svanikier said, “It’s always good to give and fortunately we have sold a lot of these buses to the Ministry of Education and churches without any complications”.
