We are progressing with our pilot phase PMentorship introductory workshops to the schools that showed interest in collaborating with us in this wonderful mentorship journey. We had a successful launch of PMC at the above High Schools based in remote rural areas of Kisumu, Kenya. It was a great educational meeting with the PMC student leaders, PMC students and their teachers. Stay tuned for updates on these visits and more.
