A Project Assistant of Right To Play, an international humanitarian non-governmental organization has called on parents to support their children to learn to keep the environment clean to enable them stay healthy at all times.
Miss Abenaa Anim-Adjei said environmental cleanliness plays a very important role in the socio-economic development of every nation and it was therefore necessary that children should learn from the grassroots.
She made the call at the end of a two-hour Walk in Accra as part of activities marking this year�s �Day of the Ghanaian Child� on Saturday.
The Day which is celebrated throughout the country, was aimed at sensitizing children on the need to keep the environment clean and was under the theme �Cleanliness, Key to Survival�.
Participants of the Walk, which started from the Mamprobi Salvation Army School, went through the Tuesday Market to St. Mary�s Senior High School and back to the starting point.
The placard-bearing children engaged in various sporting activities and other games termed �Keep it Clean�, �Wash your Hands� and �Garbage Collection� after the Walk.
Miss Anim-Adjei expressed the hope that the children would imbibe the messages and impart them to their colleagues and parents to maintain a sound environment to stay healthy.
