This week in our continued follow up in the exceptional work being done by our County Ambassadors, we feature Amb. Abubakar Mohamed Adan of Garissa County. In his desire to give back to the society and care for high school students, Amb. Abubakar, took a week-long campaign in 10 schools within Garissa town focusing on mental health awareness amongst high school learners.
During this initiative, under the #LoveYourself Campaign, he got an opportunity to interact with the leaders in the schools and the learners and discuss extensively how to tackle depression, stress and emotional wellbeing of the learners.
The initiative was launched at Nep Girls High School and subsequently went to eight others before winding up at Garissa High School.
Upon conclusion of the program, he is convinced that there is need to offer such trainings to our high school learners touching on their emotional wellbeing apart from academic work and syllabus demands.
