In a commendable act of civic responsibility and solidarity, Buzstopboys, a youth-led volunteer group dedicated to promoting environmental cleanliness and sanitation in Ghana, has donated a set of cleaning tools to fellow change-makers, Volunteers for Onua Wellness (VOW). The donation aims to strengthen ongoing efforts to improve public hygiene and sanitation across local communities.
The donated items—which include five (5) wheelbarrows, ten (10) brooms, shovels, and buckets—were part of a set of sanitation tools originally presented to Buzstopboys by His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, President of the Republic of Ghana. In a spirit of collaboration and national service, Buzstopboys chose to share these items with VOW to empower more grassroots action in tackling sanitation challenges.
Promoting Wellness Through Clean Environments
The presentation took place during a modest but impactful ceremony where members of both organizations gathered to reaffirm their shared commitment to environmental sustainability. The leader of Buzstopboys praised the consistent efforts of Volunteers for Onua Wellness, acknowledging their dedication to promoting cleanliness, wellness, and health in underserved areas.
“We see your work. We know the challenges are many, but your consistency and love for Ghana shine through. The world is watching, and your impact is real. Keep going,” said a representative from Buzstopboys.
A Grateful Acknowledgement
Receiving the items on behalf of his team, the leader of Volunteers for Onua Wellness expressed heartfelt appreciation to Buzstopboys for their generosity and collaborative spirit. He emphasized that the tools would greatly support their ongoing initiative, the BodyWallet Checkpoint Project, which integrates environmental health with financial and personal well-being.
“Volunteers for Wellness and Bencare GH are grateful to the Buzstopboys for gifting Volunteers for Onua Wellness (VOW) with wheelbarrows, brooms, shovels, and buckets “, he said.
“Your support strengthens our BodyWallet Checkpoint Project, promoting clean environments, good health, and responsible living in our communities. Together, we build wellness — body, wallet, and environment!”
