“The acronym’CLICK’ stands for Computer Lab and Integrated Center of Knowledge. CLICK for Quality Education Foundation centres will offer training in computer literacy, media and information literacy (MIL), critical thinking, and creative problem-solving skills, while instilling a love of reading and research in students.
“The first CLICK Center is presently being built at the Atwima Takyiman Presbyterian Junior High School in the Kwadaso Municipality in the Ashanti Region. We have a lot in the works and we’ll be posting updates detailing the progress we’ve made.”

Kingston became a wrestling champion when he defeated Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35 in 2019.
