Rotary Club Of Makurdi Sunrise
If you are familiar with the activities of this organization, it would not be a shock to you that the epic club supports several pro-humanity campaigns that are marked globally for promotion of health and quality living standards among people.
To mark the 2020 World Water Day, at a time the entire globe is suffering COVID19 pandemic, Rotary Club of Makurdi Sunrise took an awareness campaign to some public places, including Saint Theresa’s primary and secondary schools, Makurdi. At the visit, hand washing materials were distributed for improved hygiene as the world battles COVID 19.
The President, Rotary Club of Makurdi Sunrise, Theresa Ogbaje-Omale said ”Rotary Club of Makurdi Sunrise carried out a project on water, sanitation and Covid 19 sensitization at St Theresa Primary and Secondary Schools, Makurdi, where items including buckets with taps, liquid soaps and hand sanitizers were distributed. Most importantly, awareness was created to help staff and students on improved hygiene. This is our modest contribution and we intend to do even more collectively and individually, in the coming days to help stem the ravaging pandemic.”
Medical professionals led the sensitization campaign including Dr. Godwin Ameh of Federal Medical Centre Makurdi, who highlighted the symptoms and prevention measures to be adhered to.
Rotary Club of Makurdi Sunrise project manager PP AG Alfred Buter, PP Sekegh Shimakaa and some students demonstrated how the various items can be used in mitigating the rapid spread of the covid19 pandemic. Some young learners who spoke to the Transmitter were optimistic on their chances of improving personal hygiene as they thanked the organizers – Rotary Club of Makurdi Sunrise for the sensitization visit.
