#MyFreedomDay

Over the past few weeks, we have carried out our #MyFreedomDay CAS project.

As you might know, we had an assembly with two guest speakers, Ms. Ester Antonius and Ms. Enjouline Kole from the Ministry of Gender Equality Poverty Eradication and Social Welfare, who came to give the secondary students a more comprehensive understanding of human trafficking in Namibia and its importance. We also held a poster competition in which we wanted to help spread awareness and have the community interact with the issue of human trafficking in Namibia. 

We would like to thank all those who participated in the poster competition, it was greatly appreciated. However, as it was a competition, we had to pick a winner. So with the expertise of Ms. Rimmington and Mr. Dhruv, the Grade 10 poster was chosen as the winner. 

Additionally, we also organised the #WearBlueDay on Friday 15th of March as a way of collectively showing that we support the #MyFreedomDay initiative. All secondary students were invited to wear blue as it is the international colour for spreading human trafficking awareness and then gathered on the small field to take a picture with a drone. It turned out great. 

The success of our project relied heavily on community participation, so we want to sincerely thank everybody who contributed to the realisation of this initiative.
