 I would like to begin this note by thanking all of my family, friends and my colleagues who I would like to address as my extended family. 🙏 I am indebted for life to be surrounded by you all and the constant support and care I receive from all of you have been my everything 🙏 Trauma : A psychological and emotional response to an event or a series of events that are distressing or harmful.

However one thing me and my friends decided to do was to put back the wrappers and emptied chips packets and even orange peels back to our backpacks so that we can dump it in a proper waste bin on the way. God knows whether it would be emptied somewhere in the forest or would go to recycling at all.  Returning back to...
