Covid-19 Awareness Campaign Phase 2

It was so sudden and a pandemic seized all social activities. This affected us greatly, being a developing country. Rescue Volunteers Ghana took upon itself to create awareness of the disease and to wake people up from the myths surrounding the COVID-19 Pandemic.

To ensure that our message stay with our audience and also ensure that they put the message in action, the organization teamed up with the National Commission on Culture through the Centre for Arts and Culture to dramatize our message and distribute PPEs to our audience.

The COVID-19 Awareness campaign is in two phases. The first phase which targeted market places has the theme to keep safe at the market in order not to contract the virus or bring it home. The Campaign that started in the latter part of January and ended on 26th February benefited sellers and buyers alike. The Train in greater Accra started from Nungua, Makola, through Dodowa and Kpone markets and ended at the  Arts Centre, Accra. Rescue Volunteers  communities outside Accra also joined in the Campaign.
