Much optimism and enthusiasm was the spirit of Rotarians who hit the streets Saturday morning in aid of disabled children.
The goal was to take as many steps as possible to raise GHC 20,000 for the underprivileged and disabled children lacking basic needs.
Neglecting their comfortable beds, they showed up in their numbers, both children and adults as early as 6 am ready to go the mile for the course.

Not only members participated but family members and other well-wishers who desired for the disabled to have a comfortable life joined in.
The proceeds from the walk will be given to disabled children and underprivileged children in orphanages to cater for their feeding and other basic needs.
