Last week, we joined the University of Ghana’s Student Leaders Training Programme organised by the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs — and it was one of those days that reminds you why awareness work matters.
We set up a simple stand.
No microphones.
No big stage.
Just conversations — real ones.
Student leaders stopped by to talk about gambling pressures on campus, the rise of risky betting behaviours, and how peer influence shapes decision-making. We shared our awareness posters, listened to their experiences, and met young people who genuinely want to make healthier choices and lead their peers with clarity.
And the best part?
We welcomed new volunteers who want to support the Gamble Aware initiative and carry the message across their halls, departments, and student communities.
Every poster shared, every conversation had, and every student who joined our movement expanded our reach in ways numbers alone can’t describe.
UG wasn’t just an outreach — it was a reminder that change spreads fastest when young leaders take it personally.
