I had the privilege of facilitating a training session for the Department of Education in Nkowankowa, attended by more than 50 educators. During the session, one participant openly shared that they had developed a significant addiction to the Aviator betting game. The discussion created a safe and reflective environment that encouraged honest self-assessment among participants. This educator's willingness to acknowledge the challenge publicly demonstrated the impact of the training in promoting self-awareness and personal accountability. By the end of the session, the participant expressed a commitment to making positive changes and adopting healthier habits. This moment highlighted the broader value of the training in addressing not only professional development needs but also personal and social challenges that affect educators and their communities.
I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and it reminded me on why we do what we do.
