After a year rich in activity and innovation, the Sikolo Ane Mfi initiative came to a close on Thursday May 16 in the premisses of the Daniel Akono Nko’o Presbyterian High School.

As in March, the visit involved students from secondary schools in the Mengong county. More specifically, it involved pupils from high schools and secondary schools located on the outskirts of the urban center, namely theMengong Government High School, the Mengong Government Bilingual secondary School, the Mengong Technical secondary School and the Daniel Akono Nko’o Presbyterian High School.

As always, the initiative was a resounding success, with over 2,000 pupils and some 50 teachers directly involved. It’s gratifying to note that with this move to secondary schools, the major innovation of this second season of the concept, the Sikolo Ane Mfi initiative has seen a significant leap in terms of participation and mobilization.
