The groundbreaking event took place in Winneba and welcomed participation from several schools, including P-Amass Apam SHS, Uncle Rich SHS, Zion Girls SHS, and Winneba SHS.

The day was packed with engaging activities designed to promote savings and financial literacy among students. Highlights included a poetry contest, a painting exhibition, and a spirited debate competition, where P-Amass SHS claimed victory.
