AS part of efforts to complement the President’s Initiative to keep cities clean, members of the Great Commission Movement of Ghana (GCMG) in collaboration with the Worldwide Students Network (WSN) in the United States and Zoomlion Ghana Limited, cleaned up the compound of the Tamale Teaching Hospital.
The members cleared choked gutters and swept the premises of the hospital.
The Ghana Project Co-ordinator of GCMG, Mr Nelson Ahiataku, told newsmen in Tamale that his outfit and the WSN were ministries of “campus crusade for Christ international which is currently serving in 204 countries worldwide”.
According to him, the organisations had a responsibility towards the society and communities.
“Our motivation for embarking on this exercise is to endorse our President’s Initiative to keep our cities clean” he observed.
Mr Ahiataku explained that his outfit was basically “presenting Jesus Christ as the greatest role model the World has ever known in cultivating and living lasting values of moral integrity, character transformation, promoting and maintaining peace in our societies”.
The WSN Team Co-ordinator, Mr Ross Olson, said the exercise was part of measures to build bridges in northern Ghana.
He observed that the people of Tamale were hospitable and friendly.
“There is happiness here which we do not have in the US; infact, there is so much joy and hospitality in Tamale”, Mr Olson noted.
Later, Mr Ahiataku on behalf of the organiszations made a cash donation ofGH¢400 to the Children’s Ward of the Hospital.
The Environmental Health Officer, Madam Bentu Salisu thanked the organisations for the gesture and hoped other public-spirited individuals and organisations would emulate the gesture.
