One of the mandatory activities as corp members is cleaniness of the environment. On Wednesday 14,th 2022 was a day set aside to members of my CDS group for a sensitization awareness of sanitation practice in a public market.
I will like to share a brief about myself before proceeding to the main purpose of writing this contest.
About me
I am Emmanuel, A batch C stream 2 corp member serving in Nasarawa State. I studied computer engineering. It is a usual practice for corp members to belong to CDS groups during the period of service.
What is a CDS Group
CDS stands for community development service. It is a time where corp members develops the community in which they find themselves. I belong to the disaster management CDS. We were expected to carryout sanitation practice in a market because dirts could cause disasters and we also inform the vendors about how important sanitation is especially in the public market.
Summary Of the exercise
The exercise was carried out for each individual stores in the market. The vendors were also told how presence of dirt’s in the surrounding can cause reduction in customers.
Any store with dirt easily makes customers feel uncomfortable and we were glad they paid listening ears to attention.
We also helped them to park their dirt’s as well.
Information about the need for having a trash can
Almost every store we went to never had a trash can and we informed them of the need of having one.
It is very important to stay in a clean environment because of the following
A clean environment will never harbor diseases. Some insect that carries sicknesses such as mosquitoes are very far away from environment that are kept clean and tidied. This is why it is essential to maintain a neat environment.
Customers attraction
A healthy environment attracts more customers. They don’t even mind paying more just to get your product because they enjoy the comfort of your store.
Conclusion
I shared this with the community member to also ensure their environment is kept clean and tided at all times. As this tends to attract people to your store in order to purchase your product if you are a vendor. It can also help reduced sickness and diseases caused by insect who feeds on the dirts.
Thanks for the time spent reading, do have a nice day.
