Restoration of Human Rights (ROHR) Zimbabwe

The exercise was co-ordinated by Christina Williams & Tim Beaumont both of Liverpool City & North Neighbourhood Management Services.

Seven of ROHR Liverpool branch members joined about 24 other individual from different walks of life in the clean-up exercise.

In an exercise that started at 10.30 am and finished at around 3.30 pm, ROHR members were allocated and concentrated on Webster Street and its environs. Our activities included painting (to give a facelift to old and / or uninhabited buildings), litter picking and weeding.  We left a clean and refreshing environment in our wake. The area was noticeably “scenic” after our touch.

Some of us were clad in our colourful ROHR regalia and this helped in showcasing the organization.

The organizers thanked ROHR for the “...gesture of goodwill” and promised to keep us informed of similar events in future so that, at our discretion, we may participate. They also inquired about ROHR as an organization and we seized the opportunity to articulate our cause and to market the organization.

This is what Netsai Karota, the Vice Chairperson of ROHR Liverpool branch and our spokesperson at the event had to say after the event, “It was a fulfilling experience and we are proud to have been part of such a good cause. We feel very relevant to the community we live in and, as an organization; we are ever ready to be called upon to serve the community in which we live. In any case, this is at the core of our very existence both as individuals and as ROHR.”
