In a vibrant show of unity, journalists and Red Cross members gathered at Media Hub Grounds in Eldoret for an exciting team-building event. The activity brought together media professionals from Uasin Gishu and Red Cross officials under one goal — to strengthen collaboration and promote mental wellness.
Interactive Activities at Media Hub Grounds
The day was packed with fun, fitness, and valuable lessons in teamwork.
Lindah Muhanji, an attaché at Media Hub, expressed her excitement:“We enjoyed ourselves through various activities aligned with the CBC curriculum. It helped us exercise, interact, and learn to work better as a team.”
