Kumbungu Senior High School students trooped into the market to purchase provisions and we capitalized on that and explained to them what the campaign was all about. There was also soccer gala that was going on in the community's football field, we seized that opportunity and got the spectators attention to our event.

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

  • What worked well?
The whole event was full of excitement because there was music to entertain and draw the attention of people to the campaign.
  • What did not work so well?
It was difficult to control people that wanted to participate because it was an outdoor event.
  • What would you do differently next time?
Participants will be put into groups in order to control non-participants from joining the campaign unexpectedly.
