Happy 2025!!!💥💥

For this year let's focus on understanding more about our individual mental health.
Our Kings especially, need to learn that you don't loose any masculinity when you reach out for help. Statistics shared by the young boy awake group shows how bad things are for our men.
Let's keep pushing and keep sharing we need to decongest our mind and focus on our happiness.

Happy 2025, remember that a situation can always benefit you no matter how bad it it!.

2025. We win.

Today we met Naomi Phiri..an advocate for persons with hearing impairment and has a great passion for persons with disabilities.

Mental health affects everyone, it does not discriminate. Because as WELPwe believe in people helping people,it's a must that we learn how to communicate with all.

We will be sharing more information about this. And how the meeting went soon.
🌸💃🏾.

Hey there!!....breaking the silence requires one to speak out...now, what if one can not "speak" or they can speak but the words they use can not be understood by many?

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT SIGN LANGUAGE?🤔🤔🤔

So many emotions, all not good ones. Such a young soul, determined to create a better life for himself, yet the world 🌎 did not accommodate his plans.
It's hard to be a student, already that's a lot.
People should help people for the better, in thus case, it wasn't the case 😥😥.

To tap into some ideas of surviving this "life",I like to listen to what others say,just so that I can get some insight on certain things, hoping to do better with them.

One thing I have come to realize is that "BURNING OUT" is a big deal, yet most of us don't even know what that is.
So what is burning out? Simply put, it's being tired, too tired that you can't deliver whatever it is you are supposed to.

Most of the time we burn out and end up with fatigue. Our bodies are so used to the routine, but are minds were not built that way. The mind learns to adapt, and some times, it doesn't and it blows up like a fuse.🤯🤯💥💥💥.
We can't run away from working hard to meet the target or the goal. Remember that for everything you are trying to get out of life, life will get something from you, PLEASE let it not be your sanity.

Take some time to "Chill"....relax your mind and puase for a bit. Life is not going anywhere.

So start your day today with taking care of yourself; you mind needs some rest!

"Making your parents proud"

A lot of us are pursing careers and courses(if you are in school) with the idea of "making our parents proud of us".
I never ha e done before, saying "one day I will make my parents proud" is not something I have ever had my mind on because my mum and dad once told me, you don't need to make me proud, I'm proud of you just for you being my daughter. I really don't have to do anything at all😄, but I do things, I go above and beyond, for myself.
You see trying so hard to gain approval by making someone proud of you is stress, on you and your mental health.
Because, what if you don't achieve anything meaningful to your parents? Then what? They are not proud of you? Why? .....
If aiming for your parents approval is what you want, please go ahead, but just know that, we really don't need anyone's thumbs up for obtaining what society is saying as to be as a great achievement.
So, please, make your choices, do what you can to survive this world, and if anyone hasn't told you this...please hear it from me I AM PROUD OF YOU!! I'm proud of the big and small choices you have made for yourself and by yourself, I'm proud that you are managing even if things are hard, I'm proud, that you are trying.

Step 1: identify yourself and where you want to be.
Step 2: interact
Step 3: learn
Step 4: apply.
Step 5: never stop learning.

A 6 weeks program that made me learn about programs and projects. Reignited the fire that had always been burning.
From this interaction WELP was idealized.
WELP, short for the Wellness Program, is an idea that is being pushed to grow into a program that will help youths overcome issues that cause mental health disorders.
Mental health, sexuality and career development are what the focus points are in this program.
They might seem far apart, but mental health is the key component in all.
Times are not as they were, we are not the people of old, so navigating the world as they used might fail us, we need to navigate it in our own way, by strengthening our minds and helping other work towards being better and feeling better.
We are people helping people. We are our own heroes.

Starting a program and making it work requires one to learn about how programs that work have worked.
I started mine as an assignment for a training with the Diamond Incubators in partnership with US embassy Zambia, which went very well as I had a great experience with the Evlyn Hone students in Lusaka.
Time passed and because of my busy schedule with work and relocating, I never found time to really assimilate what running a program is all about. So I opted to take it online as I put my cards in order.
Relocating came with a lot of challenges which I didn't plan for in my program initial stages, I had to come to a smaller town and do the same work and make the same impact as in Lusaka.
I reached the bedrock of my programs life, or so I thought.
I stayed online and focused on "my life" and felt bad that I started what I couldn't finish because I didn't know much about it.🥺
Well, I'm no quiter😂.
I put myself together and lo and behold, I bumper into a well meaning youth group that I had to tag along with so I know what it takes to start a program and it running. Lugwasho is a program run by youths in Livingstone city that has one of its missions as to show kindness and give hope.
I tagged along and volunteered my hand to help with the activities they planned out as we visited the Maramba old people's home. This was in line with my vision of "people helping people"
The home is to me not a place I would like my grandmother to end up in😥...we weren't allowed to take photos of the people in the facility, but, it's a heart breaking site 💔.
But the experience made me realize how important mental health awareness is important and how we are the people who can help with achieving an environment of solace to people who have issues that bother them and trails they can not face alone.
Today, as the first day of September, I promise myself to learn more so that I can achieve the vision of having the work .
Happy Sunday team😊🌸
