Nkoranza South District marks World Literacy Day

Akumsa Domase (B/A) Sept. 11, GNA - The Nkoranza South District Facilitators of the Non-Formal Education Division (NFED) of the Ghana Education Service teamed up with learners of the literacy classes at Akumsa Domase in the district to undertake a clean-up exercise to mark this year's World Literacy Day. The exercise comprised learners from the local Anglican, Methodist and the Seventh Day Adventist churches adult classes. They desilted choked gutters, cleared weeds and tidied up the town in the exercise which lasted for about three hours. Addressing the learners later, Mr. Samuel Owusu-Adjei, District NFED Training Officer, commended the participants for their communal and voluntary spirit.

He asked them to take their studies seriously and also bring to bear on their respective communities the knowledge they acquire from the programme so that others would be motivated to enrol as learners. Mr. Owusu-Adjei appealed to chiefs, assembly and unit committees members to encourage their people to undertake regular clean-up campaigns to promote proper and healthy environmental sanitation practices. Mr.Akwasi Darko-Poku, District NFED officer in-charge of income generating activities said some of the learners were engaged in bee keeping, snail rearing, mushroom production and livestock breeding as income generating outlets. He advised them to attach seriousness to their businesses to enable them access credit facilities to expand them. 11 Sept. 09
