IDEAS for University of Cape Coast team was at IMAM KHOMEINI junior high school on the 11^th of March, 2016 to educate the students on the importance of environmental sanitation and its relevance to our health, as part of our environmental sanitation workshop. We were warmly received by the assistant headmaster upon our arrival, due to the absence of the headmaster at the time.

The students were put into one classroom since the students at the junior high level are not many.

As was our aim, the workshop was mainly focused on sanitation and health. Emmanuel Marfo (a member of IDEAS for UCC team) spoke on the need to keep our environment clean by avoiding littering, sweeping our surroundings (both at home and in school). He also elaborated on proper waste handling and disposal, which he said, one of the effects of improper disposal of waste is flooding. He climaxed his presentation by stressing on personal hygiene and its importance in which he said, we are part of the environment and there is the need for us to keep our bodies clean as well. Some of the personal hygiene practices he mentioned include bathing regularly, brushing our teeth twice daily and washing our clothes.

To ensure that the students understood the presentation, there was a question and answer section led by Isaac Abugri and Obiri Charles (both members of IDEAS for UCC). Souvenirs, comprising of pens, sticky notes and leaflets) were given to students who answered questions.

There was joy and excitement expressed on the faces of the students after the workshop. We as a team believe that they will apply what they have learned and also teach others to do same.
