𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 - 𝐅𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔

As we kick off our Volunteer Spotlight this month, we are proud to shine a light on two incredible volunteers at The Mindful Drop (TMD): Bupe Chawanangwa Makumbi and Bupe Chama Chabi. Both have been part of TMD since its inception and have played a key role in shaping the organisation’s growth.

Over the past nine months, the two Bupe's have generously dedicated their time and skills, leading impactful initiatives under our Creative Designs & Communications and Counselling units, respectively.

Bupe Makumbi has been the creative force behind TMD’s brand identity, consistently ensuring its growth and visibility. With a keen eye for fine arts, she has designed beautiful visuals and graphic content that support and strengthen all our functional units. Bupe M is currently in her final year pursuing a BSc in Health Services Management and Planning at the University of Zambia – Ridgeway Campus, where she also serves as the Publicity and Information Secretary for the School of Public Health Students Association.

Bupe Chabi, based in Ndola on the Copperbelt, has been instrumental in the growth of our mental health counselling unit. She has provided peer support and counselling to adolescents and young people, while also playing a leading role in designing our Mental-Up, a mental health mentorship programme designed for primary and secondary school learners. Bupe C is in her final year pursuing a Bachelors in Development Studies at NIPA, Ndola Campus, and previously worked as a certified Psychosocial Counsellor at New Masala Clinic in Ndola. Bupe also has a diploma in Health Services Management which she obtained in 2019.

At TMD, we are deeply honoured to have Bupe Makumbi and Bupe Chabi as part of our team.

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in Zambia and affects not just physical health but also mental well-being.

This year’s theme for World Cancer Day, "United by Unique," reminds us that while cancer is a global issue, each person and community faces their own challenges. A cancer diagnosis can bring feelings of anxiety, depression, and isolation for both patients and their families.

To address this, we need to work together to include mental health support in cancer care. It’s important to help people not only with their physical health but also with their mental health.

"United by Unique," we can change the way we think about cancer care in Zambia, making sure that mental health is just as important as physical health, and helping everyone avoid unnecessary suffering.

🌿 Mental health is just as important as physical health.

Here are 6 essential ways to nurture your mental well-being:

1. Talk to someone you trust.
2. Look after your physical health.
3. Do activities that you enjoy.
4. Steer away from harmful substances.
5. Seek professional help.
6. Take two minutes to focus on the world around you.

Remember, taking care of your mental health is a journey, and you don’t have to take it alone. If you’re looking for support, we’re here for you!

Let's prioritize our well-being together. 💚

Taking care of our mental health starts with small, everyday actions that can make a big difference.

Whether it’s dedicating a few minutes to mindfulness, going for a walk, or connecting with friends over fruticana, each step counts.

By practicing these positive habits and nurturing our minds, we can tackle challenges before they become overwhelming.

Let’s support each other on this journey toward a healthier, happier community!
