By Unyime Leo HND
The entire management staff and students of Akwa Ibom
State College of Health Technology, Etinan received Governors Aide on Student
affairs Comrade Otobong Akpan and the entire team of Social Services
Volunteers Scheme for volunteerism on the said college community.
This act reminded me of the words of the former president of
Ghana Koffi Annan which says ‘’If our hope of building a better and
safer world are to become more than wishful thinking, we will need the
engagement of volunteers more than ever.’’
Though at the course of volunteering they took a break to celebrate
the wife to the Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom State Deaconess Martha Udom Emmanuel
who marks her birthday yesterday in this month of love.
Comrade Otobong Akpan while addressing the students of State college
of Health Technology, Etinan, said that Student Social Services volunteer
scheme has risen above the level at which it started and has come to stay with
activities and more volunteerism. She encourages students to join in volunteering
and equally advise that unselfish effort to bring cheer to others will be the
beginning of a happier life for us. She applauded the school management for the
enabling environment given to them to do what they can do for the betterment of
the school.
The Provost of Akwa Ibom State college of Health Technology,
Etinan. While responding appreciated the effort of the Special Assistant to the
Governor of Akwa Ibom State on Student
Affairs for having such initiative to bring onboard a scheme of these
kind which is centered in adding values and developing communities. He said
that volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy, you vote in election
once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote everyday about the kind community you want to live in. He
reiterates that with this spirit we shall regain all our lost Glories in
volunteerism and community development.
He further appreciated the Scheme for fumigating the school
environment, painting the fens of the college and constructing a toilet
facility for the hostel occupants and for the school. He e by ended Praying God
to reward them bountifully in Jesus NAME even as he declare interest in being a
member of the Scheme.
