Bob Anthony in Nigeria for Rotary

Rotarian Bob Anthony will narrate and answer questions about the pictures in the album titled 'Nigeria Promotes Mental Health and Wellness with Wellesley Rotary'. He visited a dozen schools in five states during November 2019, meeting with hundreds of faculty, parents, and students. He said: Travel in Nigeria was difficult and  the street scenes were very foreign to my eyes!  Some of the street scenes are pictured in the album.

 

 

Rotary provides a curriculum developed by Boston Children's Hospital in a train-the-trainer format and a traveling psychologist whom  is in his third year supporting the students. To date, over 2,000 students and their families have learned that mental health is treatable and that 1 in 5 cases are even preventable.  The program was funded by the Rotary Foundation and the Rotary Club of Wellesley; it was implemented by the Rotary Club of Ibadan Idi Ishin.
