FEJ TEAMS UP WITH GIJ- WOCOM FOR CLEAN UP EXERCISE.

The women's commission of Ghana Institute of Journalism( G.I.J) as part of its activities marking the women's week, joined forces with the federation of environmental journalists to embark on a clean-up exercise both within and outside campus. 

Clad in branded indomie T-shirts, with fingers in gloves and noses covered with masks, participants including all ten contestants of Face of G.I.J pageant and members of the F.E.J started the exercise by sweeping and distilling gutters at the back yard of block D.

In an interview with Maame Afia Frimponmaa Dwira, the organizing secretary of FEJ, she noted that as budding environmental journalists, the club’s collaboration with the women’s commission is a step in the right direction as it affords members to "walk the talk" in maintaining a sanitized environment.

Delicious packs of Indomie instant noodles were also readily available for participants to munch on, after the exercise.

Dora Badu Acheampong, the women’s commissioner also noted that, the clean- up exercise was the first of its kind being organized by the commission, adding that the aim was to maintain a healthy GIJ environment.

  

                    

The clean-up exercise, is the second in the series of events to commemorate the GIJ women’s week. Day one saw the director of Ipas Ghana, deliver a talk on the theme “Abortion and the tertiary student”. Subsequent events include a trade fair and fashion show as well as the face of GIJ pageant.

This year’s pageant which comes off on Saturday, 23^rd April, 2016 at Alisa Hotel would be the climax of the women’s week celebration.
