World Vegan Day Celebrated
By Accra News Group (Originally in French)

[Accra] To celebrate World Vegan Day, our Association members from the Accra Center participated in a public seminar entitled “Eat a Plant-Based Diet for a Healthy Life” on October 30, Golden Year 7 (2010). The event was sponsored by the Vegetarian Association of Ghana (VAG) plus many other environmental and animal protection groups and health-conscious individuals.

Along with many prominent speakers including Dr. Kofi Ghartey, an optician and naturopathic physician, who demonstrated his healing treatment process to the audience, our Association members also spoke on the relationship between global warming and the meat diet as well as the vegan solution. They appealed to the Ghanaian youth to initiate actions to make Ghana a healthy nation and to help mitigate the climate change crisis. In conclusion, the chairperson of the evening, Reverend Dr. Major (Rtd) Madam Rosa Mills, a Christian Minister, stressed the importance of the vegetarian diet in uplifting our body and soul. Afterwards, the audience was treated to a variety of sumptuous vegan foods prepared by VAG and our Association members, who also took the opportunity to share SOS flyers with everyone present.

All the participants were very satisfied with this successful event and gave thanks to God for the blessings.
