Speaking to Mr. Mark Turkson the Chief Executive Officer of Mexx Multimedia, he relayed plans and how he together with his team plan to execute the initiative.
“The term mask-up came up because we wanted everyone to wear a mask, exactly for those who cannot afford. So, we basically get people to donate and re-donate to people who cannot afford.
