Those who took part in the question and answer session were rewarded accordingly.
The Principal and School Teachers were not just witnesses to the celebration 🎊, they actively took part by ensuring that the students were thoroughly organized before our arrival and kept the environment clean.
AWLA Rivers in addition to their presentations, gave out Sanitary Pads and AWLA RIVERS latest publication 📚 titled My Child My Right .
The gifts is to encourage all the girls to be intentional about sanitary issues and hygienically clean to protect themselves during and after their monthly flow which is a God given gift to every female while the books 📚 were presented to improve their library and add to the students knowledge.
The celebration 🎉 was worth the time spent with the Girls as they had time to ask questions bothering them and they were satisfied with the answers given.
The event was quite a remarkable and memorable one.
