We had the privilege of visiting the Correctional Centre Children's Home in Idi-Araba,
Lagos, where we extended our arms of philanthropy to brighten their day and bring
smiles to their faces. Our mission was clear: to interact with these wonderful children
and to share our love through meaningful engagement and the distribution of
gift items.

including games, storytelling sessions, and creative arts and crafts. The laughter
and camaraderie that filled the air were truly heartwarming, reminding us of the
simple joys of life and the power of human connection.
In addition to our time spent together, we also gifted the children’s home
foodstuffs and essential hygiene products. The excitement and gratitude
expressed by the children were palpable, and it was immensely rewarding to
know that we were able to make a positive difference in their lives, even if just for
a day.
As the day drew to a close, we said our farewells with mixed emotions—grateful
for the opportunity to have shared such a memorable day with the children, yet
saddened to leave their company.
But we departed with hearts full of love and gratitude, knowing that we had
made a meaningful impact on the lives of these remarkable children.

The event, held on Sunday, February 11th, was a resounding success, packed with
insightful sessions aimed at breaking down stigmas and fostering healthy
conversations around mental health. Dr. Olotu delivered a captivating presentation on
the Effect of Substance Misuse on Academic Performance and Mental Health, shedding
light on a critical issue affecting many young people today.
Throughout the day, attendees were treated to a wealth of knowledge and practical
advice on how to cultivate positive mental and academic habits. From interactive
workshops to thought-provoking discussions, the event provided a platform for open
dialogue and shared experiences, empowering individuals to take charge of their
mental well-being.
As we reflect on the importance of mental health awareness, it's essential to remember
that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you or someone you know is
struggling, we encourage you to reach out for support. PANI's website : thepani.org is a
valuable resource where you can find information, guidance, and access to
professional assistance.
Together, let us continue to break down barriers and champion the cause of mental
health awareness. By supporting organizations like PANI and engaging in meaningful
conversations, we can create a community where everyone feels seen, heard, and
valued.

The key point is that the action is unwanted. Even if someone doesn't intend to cause
offense, if their actions make another person feel unsafe or uncomfortable, it is
considered sexual harassment. It's important to remember that sexual harassment can
have a lasting negative impact on the target, so it should never be tolerated.
As a klub of true gentlemen, KB Klub kicks against all forms of sexual harassment and
assault. In light of this, we started a project named Kick Against Sexual Harassment
(KASH). This project comprises an extensive online awareness campaign against sexual
harassment, along with a symposium. The online awareness campaign has already
started. Check out our social media pages and spread the word with us!
