A hike to remember!

To kick off December with a bang, over 60 Pathway learners ventured to Entoto Park for a day filled with camaraderie, exploration, and discovery. The light trek offered more than just stunning views—it became the backdrop for unforgettable moments and budding connections.

A playful rivalry between Team Tea and Team Coffee added an extra spark to the day’s energy (if you know, you know). Human Bingo revealed hidden talents and surprising stories among peers, reminding us of the rich diversity within our group.

The day wasn’t all play, though—teams for upcoming group projects were formed, setting the stage for collaboration and creativity in the weeks to come.

The adventure didn’t end at the park! Some learners carried the momentum into the afternoon by joining Kaza Games’ funtastic event at the ADWA Museum, wrapping up the weekend on a high note.

A special shoutout to the emerging leaders who stood out during the games —it’s heartening to see trust and confidence taking root so early in the journey.
