Better Life With Steem : Art Of Kindness || The Recent Disaster At Nsutaman Catholic Senior High & My Word of Motivation

Recently there has been unsual incident occurring in schools; more especially colleges and second cycle schools. It concerns about outbreak of fire hitting some part of schools in Ghana. One would not know the exact course of this catastrophic conditions. Lately there has been rainfall, we cannot say the weather is very hot. But, in such case, one could also attribute it to some electrical faults and other factors like rampant lights out occurring which in our local language we call it "dumso." I first had that thought since recently Ghana is facing shortage of electrical energy.

This has led the Energy Minister to drew a time table for the schedules of "dumso"(lights out) in most parts of Ghana.

In relation to this problem described, we have had two incidence of fire outbreaks in two institutions in our area. The first one which occured about 2 weeks ago happened at Mampong Technical College of Education Administrative Block which all records of the school and other documents, furniture got burnt brutally. Before the fire extinguishers could come for their rescue, the fire had caused messed. In fact, this situation caused the school authorities in a bad mood and dejected looking at how they could not help to quench the fire before it got out of hand.

The situation of fire out break could not end there. The community in which I am currently residing - Nsuta had also experienced this unpleasant situation. The only School situated in Nsuta town - Nsutaman Catholic Senior High Schools caught fire. The Girls dormitory was burnt just last week while students were in Campus. All their boxes, trunks, clothing's, beds, dresses, mosquito nets, buckets and other items were not spared by the fire.

It got to a point that the ladies could not get dress change themselves since all items got burnt. It was then a hectic situation as you see these young ladies in that geopardise situation and when the Headmistress said she doesn't have authority to break them to go home.

Upon further enquiries of the cause, the experts expressed their thoughts that the situation was due to some electrical fault coupling with the lights out. Meanwhile they have school electrician who could have solved any fault if there is any to prevent dangers which might occur.

But, the fact is that if something damage like fire having destroyed your house, you can't get the original or those items that were ruined. But we can support the victims with some motivations and some acts of kindness.

For the few days they went through this mess, some philanthropists have come to their aid donating some items like bags, mosquito nets, buckets, boxes and many other things.

In fact , I have a lot of Students and Tutors who are Steemians there; in the lights of @menak, @kubati, @delakloe and my recently recruits like @adupeter, @oboloyaw who haven't yet started serious posting. I shared my sentiments about their situation and wished them sorry and words of encouragement. Most of these students are our friends, sister and nieces, we need to give a helping hand to them.

This is some of the barriers Steem can help us to cross smoothly. Changing people's life and setting freedom for the vulnerable ones.

Actually, we would like to support charity work for the vulnerable society and those that have been affected in time like this; fire outbreaks, flood and poor state of lives.

I am really excited that my friend @njaywan has been able to come out with a Community @ghanacare that would be receiving post on Charity works.

You can also share your love with these Nsutaman Catholic Senior High School through the comment session. Who knows, maybe more of these Students would become Steemians one day.

Thanks for your great Attention. I am @oppongk - CR for Ghana!
