It was very colourful last Friday when hundreds of teachers within the Asogli Local gathered at the Ho Sports Stadium for sporting activities among circuits comprising Dome, Bankoe, Housing, Deme, Unit Offices and SHS and Kpodzi.
The games started around 9:00AM, but were preceded by talks from the Asogli Local GNAT Chair, Mr Amegadzi Anthony Selorm, Ho District GNAT Chairperson, Madam Lois Tipong-Asare and the Ho Municipal Sports Coordinator in the person of Mr. Walter Kokoroko.
The talks were on the need to foster unity among colleagues and with those in other professions, fraternizing with colleagues aimed at business empowerment and opportunities, and keeping a healthy body through exercising and good dieting.
In addition, members were admonished on the need to be concerned about the Union's activities at all times so as to fight for a common goal as teachers.
In response, teachers who spoke at the event, were so happy and congratulated the Asogli Local GNAT Executives for the initiative but also stressed that the Union leaders should be up and doing in addressing the economic challenges faced by members of GNAT across the country.
The activities held were soccer for men, netball for women, volleyball for both men and women, lime on spoon, sack race, tug of peace, table tennis, ludo and playing of cards.
