Faith took center stage as students and staff united in prayer, dedicating the day to God and seeking His blessings.

The morning spotlight featured a series of transformative talks on Career Choices, Mental Health, Security Basics, ICT (cybercrime and phone use), and Public Health.

A dynamic team from Mbogo Professional Consultancy delivered an innovative and thought-provoking session. Using the powerful symbolism of burning candles, volunteers were invited to be “lights of the world,” spreading positive change and banishing negative vices. This reflective exercise inspired students to openly list and renounce bad habits.
