"We Plant, We Live"
In his first address after taking the oath of office as RP, Mr Abrokwa said he would ensure that the club is always in the news for positive reasons with positive projects such as "We Plant, We Live".
According to him, in order to successfully execute the project, he would lead an intensive fundraising drive which will be used to fund 200 seedlings to plant trees in Accra.
He said the beneficiaries of the project will be schools, hospitals and other public buildings in the Labone area.
Mr Abrokwa disclosed that asides the 200 seedlings that will be planted, each ROCAL member will also be encouraged to plant and nurture a tree in their house.
A Chinese auction conducted at the ceremony raised GHC 3,150 as seed money with the individual who made the winning bid receiving two smoothie machines.
