Lack of proper Sanitation causes Disaster
On the 3rd of June 2015, many lives were lost in Ghana. There was a heavy downpour which got the city of Accra flooded. The rains caused an explosion from a petroleum filling station which then caused a fire outbreak. Over hundreds of lives were lost and so many others injured. I would like to outline a few possible causes of the flood. Ghana is known to be less privileged when it comes to managing waste. People tend to dump refuse in drainage systems because there's inadequate resources for recycling and proper disposal of garbage. Dumping refuse in gutters blocked the drains making no way for water to pass. A fact shows that water always finds a way. So after the rains, the water which couldn't make its way through the drains, found its way into people's homes. Many people lost their lives, the lives of loved ones and also property. May the souls of the deceased rest in perfect peace and my sincere condolences to the bereaved families.
National Sanitation Day
It has been declared that the first SATURDAY of evey month in Ghana is NATIONAL. SANITATION DAY. Citizens are encouraged to please observe this day by participating in various communal labor and educate other on the necessity of Sanitation and Good Health.

REFLECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just sitting back remembering the first day I got the e-mail to participate. I hardly knew anything about technology except for Facebook. but thanks to #GNML, I am an expert in; I would say almost all the major social media. Thanks #GNML for making me realize I can change the world around me by the click of a button or a picture uploaded or even a word shared.
The most rewarding moment for me was when I got the good news that I qualified for the YouTech Camp. I was so happy and I will forever appreciate being given the opportunity to learn.
OMG!....I remember how I struggled with making my Elevator Pitch Video; but I was relieved when it all worked out nicely though.
And Watch Out for "Kickfilth"....I plan to start by having meetings with some of the government officials to help in organizing a "Get Involved, Let's Kick Filth" communal labor. And I will use all the platforms I have learnt from the sessions to get people to know about it and join in.
Let's Connect With LinkedIn
Let's Connect right now......Look me up on the best professional social network existent.
