Get to know to me!!

Hi there! Am trudy Minda, the creator of MYAAC.

You are most to the family and thank you much for stopping by.

I stated this blog with a very clear vision in mind-; to empower young people by sharing useful, safe and credible information on adolescent health and wellbeing.

I realised that enough isn't being done to include the youth in decision making and most services are not adolescent or youth friendly. Since most youth can be found online, I decided to start MYAAC in hopes of  bridge that gap. 

MYAAC hopes to be an interactive learning space  where EVERYBODY IS WELCOME AND SAFE.

I really wished there was platform like this while I was much younger because I believe I will have a lot wiser and well informed.

Objective

The objective of the blog is to enable young people acquire knowledge and skills so that they can make informed decisions and gain greater control over actions affecting their health, wellbeing and life.  

Society and life as we know it now can get crazy and you can sometimes get lost without a little guidance. 

It is my hope for this blog to be the help and guidance you need to get your life a little more organised and productive.

So whether it's your first time in school or you are already in UNI, College or Senior High School or wherever you find yourself now, then you are in the right place and you are welcome.
