Community members also contributed in weeding and clearing of the site to make way for the celebration.
The Jamaica well was built by Jamaican missionaries who were brought to Aburi by white missionaries to propagate the gospel of Christ and has served the community from time immemorial till its abandonment due to the introduction of boreholes, however, he assured that the assembly would maintain it henceforth.
He charged the students to keep their eyes on their books and be "responsible and conscious citizens’’ to sustain the environment.
