Darkuman Church of Pentecost Women engaged in clean-up exercise

MEMBERS of the Darkuman District Women's Movement of the Church of Pentecost (COP) has organised a clean-up exercise around the Darkuman-Circle station and its environs.
The women were led by Mrs Elizabeth Larbi-Wettey, the wife of the District Pastor, Pastor Matthew Larbi-Wettey, and the District Women's Movement Leader, Mrs Vida Aryee.
The women, who were drawn from six assemblies within the Darkuman District of the church, swept streets and lanes and cleared gutters of rubbish, as well as silt.
To prevent a situation where the rubbish would be left along the streets after the exercise, Zoomlion Ghana Limited was contracted to cart the rubbish away.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic in Accra, Mrs Larbi-Wettey said the exercise was part of the church's social responsibility to society, and especially the community in which the Church worshipped.
She maintained that the movement would continue to embark on similar exercises since "cleanliness is next to godliness".
Mrs Larbi-Wettey took the opportunity to thank the members of the movement who took part in the exercise and to those who could not participate, she appealed to them to endeavour to respond to such calls in future.
Mrs Aryee said the exercise was to protect the people in the community from diseases which occurred as a result of filth.
She reiterated that many diseases which affected mostly children came out of the environment and advised all women to ensure that their children lived in clean environment.
The women, after the exercise, embarked on physical exercise.
