Members of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) Agric Club embarked on an educational and recreational visit to the Neville Farms and Recreational Retreats at Pokrom-Aburi in the Eastern Region, as part of efforts to encourage personnel of the Service to engage in gardening.
Located on top of a hill with beautiful scenery and a serene environment, Neville Farms is not just a farm, but also serves as a recreational centre.
The team was taken on a guided tour of the farm, exposing them to modern farming practices and agribusiness opportunities. Some of the interesting sites visited included the beautiful rabbittery, the mushroom farm, and the greenhouse farm.
As part of the educational tour, the President of the Club, ACI Shadrach Azangweo, gave a brief presentation on container gardening, highlighting how officers can start small-scale gardening even with limited space at home.
The trip featured a planting workshop, music, networking among members and fun games. Participants were treated to an array of food and drinks, including grilled chicken and pork, fufu with goat and pork soup, and slices of pawpaw.
The facility was also equipped with swings, hammocks, barbecue stands and various indoor games such as magnetic board games, Ludo, Oware and playing cards. Read Also: GSA Trains 264 Inspectors to Protect Consumers Nationwide
Speaking at the end of the visit, ACI Azangweo described the experience as educative and refreshing. He said such trips provide a good experience, and apart from being educative, they also help to relieve stress and promote healthy eating, hence the need to organize them more often.
On her part, the Vice President of the IMMILAC Headquarters Chapter, DCOI Scholastica Asuah Mensah, congratulated the team and encouraged members to eat healthy since the service and country needs its staffs and citizens healthy to work efficiently. She said the collaboration between IMMILAC and the Agric Club remains solid.
