Norman Abraham organizes communal labor at UCC

In a proactive move towards fostering a cleaner environment, Abraham Norman Nortey, alongside his peers at the University of Cape Coast (UCC), organized a noteworthy cleanup campaign around campus.

The primary objective of this initiative was to cultivate awareness among the university community regarding the pivotal role of cleanliness in promoting overall well-being.

The dedicated student volunteers allocated five hours to meticulously tidy up various sections around the campus vicinity. Areas such as Ayensu Round Palace, Adwoa Dufie, Ayensu Plaza, and the Science Market underwent thorough cleaning, with tasks ranging from clearing gutters to sweeping streets and tending to overgrown weeds.

Amidst the cleanup activity, Miss Lauren Annan, a student volunteer, shared her sentiments, stating, "Participating in this cleanup has been incredibly rewarding. It's heartwarming to witness the collective effort towards fostering a cleaner and healthier campus environment."

Moreover, the local vendors operating along the streets where the cleanup occurred also expressed their appreciation for Team Norman's proactive initiative. They commended the students for their commitment to improving the surroundings, acknowledging the positive impact such endeavours have on the broader community.

Post-cleanup, Mr. Abraham Norman Nortey, CEO of Visionary Norman Foundation, extended heartfelt gratitude to all participants for their unwavering dedication and hard work. Emphasizing the correlation between cleanliness and good health, he reiterated the timeless adage, "Cleanliness is next to Godliness," urging everyone to uphold cleanliness standards within the campus premises.

Norman seized the opportunity to underscore the importance of responsible waste disposal, encouraging members of the university community to utilize designated waste bins provided by the Students' Representative Council (SRC) and the university administration.

Norman expressed sincere appreciation to the UCC Environmental Health Section and the Directorate of Public Affairs for their invaluable support in facilitating the success of the cleanup campaign. Their assistance in providing essential equipment and approvals significantly contributed to the initiative's achievements.
