WATER CRISIS AT UNIMAC PLEASANT GARDENS HOSTEL

Image
 As students living in hostels we have been facing water crisis for months now. This struggles is on a daily base affecting our lives, hygiene and our well-being . In this blog, I would enlighten  you on the we are facing and the impact it has on us .In this hostel, the rate at which there is water shortage is soo high that they have to draw a timetable for we the student. That's when my question comes that what if its a necessity or its urgent do we have to wait for the appointed days ?               The student at pleasant gardens most of the time depend on borehole for water which is unhygienic for cooking and bathing. We the student do not have any other option to purchase sachet water for cooking and even brushing because these water from boreholes are most of  the time impure which could cause health and education risk. I urge us all to voice out and aid student living at the Pleasant Gardens Hostel  https://www.facebook.com/s...

 Teenage pregnancy is a complex and sensitive issues facing young people of my society as a whole. Due to it feeling of shame, stigmatization and guilt it is something that i personally think is necessary to break the silence and address the issue at hand .

TRAFFIC JAM AT KASOA

Image
As a concerned citizen of Ghana and a resident of Kasoa, it has been noticed by me that one of the appalling  crisis that Kasoa faces as a society is its traffic jams. Kasoa popularly known as 'kascity' is one of the most populated and active places in Ghana. Due to the high population growth and migration from other places to Kasoa ,it has become overcrowded leading to traffic jams on the roads. These traffic jams do not only affect the roads but also affects the individuals of those society. These traffic jams do not only causes bad roads but also causes lateness on the side of individuals, decreases productivity and most important and common accident.  The traffic jam crisis is appalling and need to be dealt with . https://www.facebook.com/share/1ABTPVw68C/?mibextid=wwXIfr
