The Mfantsiman Old Girls Association (MOGA) National President, Henrietta Amissah, has led members of the association in a spirited health walk at the University of Ghana campus to promote physical wellness, sisterhood, and community building.
The walk took participants through the University of Ghana campus, ending at the stadium car park.
Similar walks were held by various regional chapters of the association across the country.
Speaking at the Accra event on Saturday (2nd August), Mrs Amissah said the walk—themed “Purple Steps, Healthy Hearts, One ”MOGA”—was designed to encourage healthy living among members while strengthening the association’s network and connection with other alumni groups.
“We really want to build one strong Old Girls Association that is well-resourced and able to support the school that nurtured us into who we have become,” she explained.
The event was not limited to exercise alone. A full medical team was on-site, offering health screenings including blood sugar checks, dental examinations, weight and blood pressure monitoring, and laboratory tests.
Mrs Amissah emphasised the importance of preventive healthcare.
“We service our cars and insure them, yet we sometimes take our bodies for granted. We only go to the hospital when we feel sick. It’s important to be intentional about our health — exercise, eat well, rest well, and sleep well to avoid future complications,” she said.
MOGA Vice President Shirley Tony Kum expressed appreciation to members and sister associations who joined the walk, including old students from Adisadel College, St Augustine’s College, Mfantsipim, and Wesley Girls’ High School.
“It’s been amazing having support from these schools. Next year, it’s going to be bigger and even better,” she said.
The Vice President also highlighted MOGA’s ongoing projects, notably the construction of a modern library, and appealed to sponsors and corporate organisations to partner with the association.
“We can’t do this alone. We will be knocking on doors for support so our children and sisters can have a better learning environment to promote academic excellence,” she added.
The annual national health walk forms part of MOGA’s efforts to promote holistic well-being and to mobilise resources for educational development.
