Plant Learning, First Aid, and HIV Awareness

Here's what's been happening with our students:

Learning About Plants: Our students recently learned about how smoke helps certain plants grow better. They got hands-on experience to understand why this is important for the plants to stay healthy.

First Aid Training: Our Hospitality class finished a course to learn how to give first aid. This skill is really useful, especially if they want to work in tourism.

Sports for Good Programme: Our coaches organized a session to teach our youth about HIV/AIDS. They played a game where they had to avoid "risk zones" to learn about staying safe.

We're always working hard to give our students the best education and help them become leaders of the future. Stay tuned for more updates!
