National Volunteer Day
09/21/2022
Every 21 September is Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day in Ghana. This holiday
commemorates the birthday of Ghana's main independence leader, first
prime minister, and first president, Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah. It is also a day for people to volunteer in their community.

This year, TroTro Diaries members decided to volunteer at the Kwame Nkrumah bus terminal (trotro station). We engaged close to 1,000 people drivers, bus conductors and hawkers where we educated them on not littering and introduced them to the concept of recycling.
We handed out some free drinks as part of the project and used the opportunity to make the message practical and direct them to the recycling bags.
