We woke up to the light of day, well set to the event of the day our destination; youths’ hall. We converged at the youths’ hall during the early morning ready to partake that which was scheduled for us, a clean up, so to say.
A couple of months had passed since we last had a clean up activity besides the garbage collection project that is conducted every Saturday. If the youths’ program is anything to go by, this was to be the last clean up and the vigor with which it was carried out is one thing worth mentioning.
The energy was written allover the faces of the youths, one could easily tell that more work and less talk was what awaited us. We were up to whatever course was required of us, at some point, you could hear some of the youths talking in low tones that they were exhausted but quenching some thirst made us ‘rejuvenated’ hence soldiering on as far as the event was concerned. The scotching sun could not spare us either but again, this did not deter us from accomplishing our mission.
We were on the verge of seeing that we leave both our office and the hall tidy hence we did some thorough cleaning in the youth’s office and had building stone transferred to a more suitable place where they could cause less distraction. If I’m asked, I can attest that there was no need visiting the gymnasium on this particular day because carrying the stones had more to it than could meet the eye.
It took us a couple of hours to have the clean up done, we were glad that to this far, there were no injuries reported and all went down smoothly. After all was done, we had our gear cleaned and there was no other better way that we could have ended the day apart from getting ourselves some good lunch. It was a worthy course for sure.
