Girls' mentoring sessions are held throughout the year covering a multitude of topics. One topic was drug abuse and its effects, and to make it more interactive the girls were split into groups and were told to write their own play and then act out the skit on why youngsters resorted to taking drugs and how they could seek help if they were struggling with drugs.
The 2nd STEM Session was hosted by the Develop Africa Sierra Leone (DASL) team over the summer, utilizing the engaging Legos Mindstorms sets. This innovative program aims to train our school-going beneficiaries in building Lego robots, fostering their interest and passion for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and robotics.

The mentoring session was divided into two parts, offering a comprehensive experience for the 22 girls in attendance interested in makeup artistry.
