At Ave-Afiadenyigba in the Akatsi North District of the Volta Region, during the Eid-Ul-Adha festival last Saturday, members of the two sects participated together in a public education forum on child care to celebrate the day.
The purpose of the event was to inspire males to take on more active family duties beyond only providing financial support for upkeep costs. It was organized by a local non-governmental organization called Humanity and Nature Trust.
In a speech, the executive director of the trust, Rev. Gershon Kwame Osei, asked men to take an active part in ensuring that their women visited antenatal clinics since they were the foundation of the household.
In addition, he said that the mother should not be the only one responsible for immunizing the kid against the 13 illnesses common to children.
According to Rev. Osei, “The kid belongs to both the father and the mother, thus they both must play major and active roles in bringing the child up.”
Regarding the event, he said that the close relationship between Muslims and Christians in Ave-Afiadenyigba was admirable and beneficial to the growth of the neighborhood.
Rev. Osei said that everyone would benefit from the establishment of basic facilities in the villages, like as schools and clinics, regardless of the residents’ membership with a particular religion.
He urged the crowd, “For that reason, we must constantly defend the peace and advance in development.
The best way to achieve this harmony, according to Rev. Osei, is for men to become involved in their children’s and families’ wellbeing at home.
Catholics, members of the Ave-Afiadenyigba-based Christ Apostolic Church, Pentecostal Holiness Church, and Church of Pentecost were among those who participated in the conference.
