We explored on both cons and the prons of social media on teen before we reaching a balance conclusion

The following are some of the reason why social media should have an age limit
-protecting menata health
-preventing exposure to inappropriate Content
-limit online predator and scams

Here are reasons that are not in favor of the topic
-it provides a vital platform to socialize and connections with thier peers
-navigating social media requires and fosters various skills including digital literacy, critical thinking and creativity

Good Day Team

As we all know from the 13th to 26th October 2025 we are having a visitor (Ms. Taylor) from the Denver Fencing Foundation, USA.
Ms. Taylor is a highly respected athlete, coach, and Program Manager at the Denver Fencing
Foundation (USA), and a passionate advocate for para fencing development worldwide.
During her visit, she will:
• Provide technical training and mentorship to Namibian para fencing athletes.
• Share international best practices on adaptive fencing techniques and team-building
approaches.
• Facilitate capacity-building workshops for local coaches.
• Donate second-hand para fencing and adaptive equipment valued at approximately USD
1,500, which will greatly enhance the readiness of Namibian athletes for international
competitions.

Please take this as an opportunity for you to learn as much as you can from her.

Parafencing is a new sport in Namibia and Africa at large, making it the best sport to grow in.

On September 27, 2025, we came together for a powerful conversation on Sexuality Education.

We explored key themes related to relationships and intimacy for people with disabilities, including what intimacy means, when it may begin in a relationship, and how it’s experienced differently by each individual.

Some of the important takeaways:
- Start by loving yourself: confidence and self-awareness are foundational.
- Practice open communication with your partner.
- Be clear about boundaries, and take action when needed.
- Reflect on what intimacy looks like for you: what works, what doesn’t, and what feels safe and affirming.

This was a space for honest dialogue, shared learning, and deep reflection. Thank you to everyone who contributed with openness and care. 👌🏾♿💃♥️
