My Travel Story

by: TREZAH PATRICIA ACHIENG Start Date: Aug 26, 2023 - End Date: May 25, 2024
  • Cultural Exchange
  • Educational/Research Trip
  • Leadership/Training Program
Participating in these trips and contributing to providing therapy and psychosocial support to young learners aligns with my values and aspirations.While it might involve a commitment of time and effort, the experience and skills gained through organizing and participating in such meaningful endeavors will undoubtedly enhance my personal and professional growth. The insights into psychology, communication, and community engagement will complement my education and could potentially shape my career path, opening doors to fields related to counseling, education, or social work.
Through these trips, we aim to provide vital therapy and psychosocial support to young learners who might be facing challenges in their lives. By offering a safe and nurturing environment, we can help them develop the necessary emotional tools to navigate difficulties. Empowered and emotionally resilient young learners are more likely to contribute positively to their families, schools, and neighborhoods, creating a more cohesive and supportive community in the long run. 
I am passionate about this project because I believe that every young learner deserves access to proper mental health support. Adolescence can be a challenging phase, and having a platform where they can express their emotions, learn coping strategies, and build a sense of belonging can be transformative. Witnessing the positive changes in these learners' lives as a result of our efforts fuels my passion and commitment. This project combines my desire to make a difference with my interest in psychology and community engagement.
By selecting a destination where our efforts can have a substantial impact and where the need for psychosocial support is significant, we hope to maximize the positive outcomes for both the young learners and the community. Additionally, logistical aspects like accessibility, safety, and accommodation were taken into account.

This project holds deep personal meaning for me. Knowing that I can play a role in improving the lives of young learners who might be struggling emotionally is incredibly fulfilling.Every interaction, every breakthrough, and every smile that comes from the progress these learners make is a reminder of the importance of our work. Being able to contribute to their emotional well-being and witnessing their personal growth is a source of profound meaning and purpose in my life.

    Raising Funds for the Minds on the Move: School Therapy Tour

    At Tripatt Wellness Limited, we believe that nurturing the mental wellness and psychological development of young learners is of paramount importance. As the challenges and pressures faced by students continue to evolve, addressing their mental health needs has become an urgent priority. That's why we are excited to introduce our upcoming initiative, the "Minds on the Move: School Therapy Tour."

    Why We Are Raising Money:

    The Minds on the Move project is designed to provide a safe and engaging platform for young learners to explore and enhance their mental wellness. Through interactive workshops, group discussions, creative activities, and one-on-one sessions, we aim to empower students to better understand their emotions, build resilience, and develop crucial coping skills. By raising funds for this project, we're taking a proactive step toward fostering a generation of emotionally intelligent and mentally resilient individuals.

    Use of Funds:

    The funds raised through this campaign will be allocated thoughtfully to ensure the success and impact of the Minds on the Move: School Therapy Tour. Here's a breakdown of how the funds will be utilized:

    Workshop Materials: We usually invest in a wide range of engaging and educational materials, such as art supplies, journals, activity kits, and educational resources, all tailored to guide students through their emotional exploration and growth.

    Qualified Therapists and Counselors: We are committed to providing the highest quality of support to our young participants. Your contributions will help us engage experienced therapists and counselors who specialize in working with children and adolescents, ensuring that every interaction is meaningful and impactful.

    Logistics and Transportation: The project involves touring various schools and educational institutions to reach as many students as possible. The funds will cover transportation costs, equipment setup, and other logistical necessities to ensure a seamless and organized tour.

    Promotional Materials: Raising awareness about the importance of mental wellness is essential. Your support will enable us to create compelling promotional materials, including brochures, posters, and online campaigns, to spread the word and encourage participation.

    Follow-Up Resources: The journey doesn't end with the tour. We will develop follow-up resources like online support groups, webinars, and downloadable content to ensure that students can continue their mental wellness journey beyond the workshop.

    We deeply value the support of each and every donor who joins us in this endeavor. Your contributions directly impact the lives of young learners, equipping them with the emotional tools they need to navigate life's challenges successfully. By contributing to the Minds on the Move project, you are investing in a brighter future for these students, promoting mental health awareness, and fostering a more compassionate and resilient society.

  • Explosive Session At OKOK Secondary School In Kisumu, Kenya

    Explosive session at OKOK Secondary school in Kisumu, Kenya
    An exciting discussion was witnessed at Okok Mixed Secondary School with students from the Third Form and Fourth Form (approximately 16 - 17-year-old learners). Despite the weighty issues at hand, Tripatt and the team were able to tackle several issues which included:
    1. Rampant teen pregnancy with up to 60% of the girls at this age affected.
    2. Rampant cases of drug abuse and peddling.
    3. lack of effective guidance on adolescents' reproductive health
    4. Low self-esteem given it is a semi-urban school located within Kajulu area.
    5. lack of proper Psychosocial support given that many of the students are from poor backgrounds and face difficulty in raising school fees.
    Immediate Action:
    1. The Tripatt team intends to conduct several sessions with individual students who have been impacted negatively due to exposure to some of these issues.
    2. Launching a Mentorship program for both the girls and the Boys.
