In pursuant of her goal to effectively combat the challenges facing
victims of accidents and disasters in her domain, the Ogun state chapter
of the Red Cross moves to schools-both privately owned and public.
The policy of the state government under Sen.Ibikunle Amosun to have all
children in its schools undergo an all-round-education sets the ground
for Red Cross. Every Wednesday afternoon, all schools must come out for a
two-hour extra curriculum activities programme.
This is the opportunity
the state unit of the Reds aptly seized. Recently the Reds birthed at
Itoki Community High school,Itoki in Ifo Local Government area with much
fun fare.
The student-volunteers numbering forty and a total of ten teachers who
had undergone Basic First Aid trainings were issued with their
certificates.
To strengthen her conquest in the school,almost all the state officials
and the divisional officers of the Society were present for the
inauguration.
The Principals of both the senior and the Junior schools
extended an open hand to the Society. It was a beautiful sight to see
the students and teachers volunteers in their prim uniform.
With
the drama they put up to show their readiness to go all out for
humanitarian assignment. It was all-Red oh, Cross oh affair.
