"I can’t care for you when I’m worrying for myself..."
-Angela Wambui, fourth year medical student at the University of Nairobi
The week began with a workshop in advocacy skills attended by 76 students from the University of Nairobi College of Health Sciences and the Kenya Medical Training College. Facilitators from PHR and the Kenya Health Rights Advocacy Forum (HERAF) introduced the students to the key components of an advocacy campaign, as well as the communication skills necessary to communicate, collaborate and make change happen on campus and beyond.
