FLON paid a surprise visit to the Kayec After-Care Program to re-connect with young people she met at #BeFreeInformalSettlements. She used the opportunity to reinforce key messages around help-seeking behavior, positive coping mechanisms and anti-violence. https://t.co/8W8tuRypkx

#BeFreeInformalSettlements ended on a high note. As always FLON took time for some personal interactions with young people to engage them on solutions for some of the challenges they are faced with.

One of the outcomes of today’s post-event discussion was a decision to purchase 19 tickets for tomorrow’s dinner for youth who attended #BeFreeInformalSettlements and are interested in developing community leadership skills.

Great thread from @FLON_Namibia on #BeFreeInformalSettlements. Today’s event was an experiment of the new #BeFree model which will be more issue specific and focused on linking youth to services. Mobile clinic and all services offered were great hits. https://t.co/fytBEIFeMc

Many handwritten notes slipped into my hands and I am reading them on my way home from #BeFreeInformalSettlements. Financial assistance for studies, business and community based organizations constitute the bulk. Some touching stories of determination and lots of weariness.

#BeFreeInformalSettlements Comedian changed mood back to fun by contrasting parenting styles of different Namibians. @RuthHerunga2 was wiping away tears as it was funny while making a serious point about the importance of parental involvement, step parenting and lack of love.

DJ Flame has the most engaging personality. Closes panel with advice to youth, particularly boys. Great panel, they really did justice to the topics. We focused on information given to us, before the event, by youth, social workers, police and teachers #BeFreeInformalSettlements

Pastor Sidney Boois is special. A role model. Speaks on importance of church ensuring its relevance and addressing challenges faced by youth. I appreciated the shout out to #BeFree’s evidence-based approach and encouragement for churches to do same. #BeFreeInformalSettlements

Young learner on the panel gets emotional when asked to give tips on managing to go to school without access to water and electricity. He speaks through challenges but the psychological impact for youth living in informal settlements is clear. #BeFreeInformalSettlements

nurse acknowledges truth that some nurses are rude when adolescents ask for contraceptives. Highlights that, at times, it’s out of concern that girls will use contraceptives to prevent pregnancy and not use protection like condoms to prevent HIV. #BeFreeInformalSettlements
