“When children ask many questions, they should not be punished. Their curiosity helps develop the cognitive abilities they need to cope with different stages of growth and development. Academic success and positive affirmation are critical during this stage.” @obalim86 of @TpoUg

This afternoon, we were honored to have Grace Obalim, Director of Transcultural Psychosocial Organization (TPO) Uganda address Kitebi SS patriotism trainees on the critical importance of mental health as an integral part of overall well-being. She cited the distinction between physical and mental health, shedding light on challenges like anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. 'Mental health is another branch of health,' she noted, urging students to seek help from counselors and trusted individuals. Obalim stressed that open communication is key to addressing mental health issues effectively, citing a Makerere study where 17% of students face mental illnesses. She advocated for proactive measures, encouraging students to prioritize mental well-being. @StateHouseUg @TpoUg

Indiscriminate rocket fire by Hamas into Israel & use of civilians as human shields is against laws of war, but doesn't absolve Israel of its own violations. Int'l humanitarian law can't be applied selectively. It's binding equally at all times & doesn't depend on reciprocity.

The Rotary Club of Upper Kololo hosted us to a big feast to inaugurate their new President Joyce Odoki Sadoori. District Governor Mike Ssebalu, who almost missed a flight, swore in the new leader and handed her instruments of office. We should all embrace the spirit of Rotary!
