Event at Legon University of Ghana
Destiny Volunteers came out of Destiny Health Aid Club Legon and was established through the effort of Master. EMMANUEL BAAH - FENNING a second year student of University of Ghana Legon.
This was as a result of the poor health measures on campus, which has generated numerous diseases on campus and needed to be brought to the attention of the University authorities and also to help students to have a sense of responsibility to achieve a disease free environment. There have been instances where refuse dumps are close to residencies and also burnt at a close distance to the student residencies.
Lastly, there have been stagnant garters, empty tins and refuse dumps just to mention a few which are seriously breeding the deadly insect mosquitoes of which malaria has become the most common disease on campus.
Other common diseases on campus are Typhoid, Air borne diseases, and other diseases associated with bad sanitation.
Students are facing all these poor health situations on campus because there is no health club to fight or
educate on how to achieve a diseases free environment for national development.
Destiny Health Aid Club Legon is the only club on campus to have unprecedented members of about 500 students within one week of registration and just five days before the second semester examination, which is highly unusual. It is the only health club on campus now.
So Master Emmanuel Baah - Fenning extended the aims and objectives to those in the deprived communities as they will suffer even more than those in the cities, “Even those in the cities are suffering how much more the deprived” communities "theirs will be worse"
Our first vacation camp was held on June 2007 with six senior high schools in the Eastern Region of Ghana with an estimated student Population of four thousand and over.
But because of weak financial backing we couldn't complete all the six schools but did only three schools.
So lets all get involved as we save lives and also help in education (school) within the deprived communities in Ghana as Destiny Volunteers create the awareness, prevention, teach in schools, donate, and any ways of saving lives/helping the poor in the deprived communities in Ghana through health, education, student exchange, research, construction, environment, cultural exchange programs, agriculture/farm, orphanage volunteering and more.
