Rtn. Peter Itawawansa, Assistant Governor of Zone 22 in Rotary Club, passionately encourages Nigerians to cultivate economic trees as a means of protecting the environment. He also emphasizes the importance of clearing overgrown weeds within their surroundings, stressing the aged adage that “health is wealth.”
Itawawansa delivered this message during a recent event at the Ugbolu Primary Health Centre in Oshimili North Council, Delta State with the collaborative effort involved between multiple Rotary Clubs, including Asaba Government House, Asaba Downtown, Okpanam Hilltop, Issele-Azagba Uptown, Asaba Bonsaac, and Rotaract clubs under District 9141 Nigeria, coming together for a four-in-one project aimed at enhancing healthcare services at the health centre.
In addition to urging individuals and organizations with a vibrant spirit to contribute to maternal and child care, Itawawansa shared the list of items donated to the health centre. This included mattresses, pillowcases, bed sheets, window curtains, hand hygiene materials, and sanitary waste bins. In addition, as an indication of environmental preservation, economic trees were planted to fortify the local ecosystem, and overgrown weeds were cleared from the premises, dignifying the quality of healthcare services provided to the community.
Itawawansa accentuated that this act aligns with Rotary Clubs’ worldwide vision, emphasizing that Rotary’s mission revolves around uplifting and empowering people.
