Impact Stories
"Everyday please"
When we asked the students if they were okay to have their Healthy Relationships session on a Thursday after their lunch break and one replied “You know what would be best.. If we had Healthy Relationships programme everyday after lunch, instead of just Thursday” This was our second time meeting our students. - TYMS Mentor
Lockdown Zoom set up students
During the Covid-19 Lockdown, all Healthy Relationship sessions were on Hold due Level 4 restrictions. We had only completed one session with this particular group, and two of the students (11 years old) both separately took the initiative to host a Zoom session, at our usual Healthy Relationships session time with the entire group. To set this up, they googled their mentor’s name, and added every email ending (gmail.com, hotmail.com, yahoo.com) until they reached their mentor who gladly contacted their referrer and other TYMS staff to join in on a HRP Zoom organized by the students.
Kindness Matters
For our Kindness session each student was given paper with their name on it. The sheets were then passed around the room, where every person had to write one or more kind things about that person in the middle. Once each person received their A4 paper back, the boys shared how they felt reading what others had to say about them.
“I felt included reading this. I feel like people look up to me now” - T. 11 years old
“I feel like I fit in here” - E. 11 years old
