South Africa returnees form ‘Evacuation Boys’ to support sanitation in Ghana

A group of Ghanaian evacuees from South Africa, calling themselves the “Evacuation Boys,” has pledged to support Ghana’s development by joining efforts to improve sanitation and promote a cleaner country.

They left South Africa amid fear, uncertainty and traumatic experiences, but returned to Ghana with a different mission to give back to the country they call home.“Evacuation Boys; We Came Back to Give Back,” is the slogan adopted by the group, which says its painful experiences in South Africa have strengthened rather than diminished its resolve to contribute to national development.
