TREDS DONATES TO TARKWA-NSUAEM GES (PAGE 26, JAN 6, 2010)

TREDS Envitech Limited, an environmental management company, has donated items worth GH¢ 10,000 to the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipal Directorate of the Ghana Education Service (GES) to support the hand washing campaign among schoolchildren.
The items included 200 pieces of hand washing bowls, 200 pieces of specially designed metal bowl stands, 20 boxes of key soap, 40 bales of napkins and 12 pieces of water filters.
The Director of Operations of the company, Mr Robert Kwame Adayi Jnr, who presented the items to the GES at Tarkwa, explained that as an environmental management company with experience in waste management, dredging and pests, as well as odour control, the company had taken upon itself to contribute towards the well-being of the community in which it operated.
“Since the environment is our main objective, we in our little way offer services and items that will help to promote sound and healthy environment for the community,” he said.
Mr Adayi expressed the hope that the gesture would support the ongoing education and campaign on hygienic practices among the schoolchildren.
He said the company had already donated quantities of deodorised pesticides, spraying guns, disinfectants, odour controlling solutions and mosquito nets to the Ntotroso community and its health centre in the Brong Ahafo Region at the cost of GH¢ 5,000.
This, he said, confirmed the company’s assurance that it would continue to support the communities in diverse ways it found necessary as its contribution towards the well-being of the people.
The Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipal Director of the Ghana Education Service, Ms Catherine Davis, expressed her appreciation to the company for the donnation.
She said the water filters would be sent to schools difficult to reach and which did not have clean water.
Ms Davis said the donation would help inculcate in the schoolchildren the need to wash their hands at all times.
