A meeting was held last week with school parents and guardians to discuss participation in trauma, healing and mental health workshops. Our families have endured many hardships over this past year including economic stress, financial constraints and the loss of loved ones to illness and suicide. We also discussed ways to overcome the escalation of Gender Based Violence and how to mitigate the increasing cases of child pregnancies and marriages. We are grateful to our families for their willingness to engage in these discussions and for entrusting us with their children during the school year.
