As part of the day's outreach, the Obaatanpa team held a comprehensive orientation session for fresh students of Amenfiman Senior High School, focusing on issues that shape a young person's first year away from home.

What was covered

  • Gender-based violence and sexual and reproductive health rights
  • Adolescent health, personal hygiene and mental health — with emphasis on coping with peer pressure, stress and effective time management
  • School bullying, discrimination and positive role modelling

The session closed with an address from Madam Angela Ahimah, known in the community as Nana Hemaa, who urged the students to take their education seriously and to maintain discipline and cleanliness at all times.

As young people, your health, behavior, and discipline will determine your future. Respect yourselves, study hard, and make choices that will make your parents and the community proud.
