After the warm-up exercise, the youth participants started the hike, led by the Youth Awareness Officer, Ms. Slatelynna Legalishyaro.
Around 9:30 am, the youth Participants reached halfway up the trail, where some of the Youth Committee Members were passing out water to any participants who needed to stop and hydrate themselves before continuing the hike.
Around 10:00 am, the youth participants reached the windmill site, where everyone stopped to rest and enjoy the scenery before making their way back to St.Mary’s School Field.
After a quick break, everyone gathered together for a group photo before initially heading back to the starting point.

What a wonderful initiative! Organizing a youth hiking event is a great way to encourage young people to stay active, build teamwork, and develop a stronger appreciation for nature. Outdoor activities like these promote confidence, resilience, and healthy lifestyles while creating lasting memories. I also appreciate exceptional craftsmanship in other fields, including the Ap Bust Down Moissanite Watch | 41 MM | Rose Gold Plated, Nautilus Style Moissanite Watch 41mm – Two Tone Yellow Gold, and Moissanite Square Watch in Arabic Dial | 41 MM | Rose Gold Tone. Thank you for supporting youth development through meaningful community programs!
What a fantastic initiative to encourage young people to stay active and enjoy the outdoors. Special moments like these deserve to be celebrated, just as Diamond Bracelets for women often mark meaningful occasions.
