The event was a resounding success, providing the families with invaluable insights into physical and mental health, while offering them the chance to connect with professionals from various fields, and play Operation!

A highlight of the day was a powerful and deeply moving talk from special guest Cindy Ngamba, the inspirational Olympic medal winning boxer whose journey of resilience and determination left the audience spellbound. Cindy shared her incredible life story, reflecting on the challenges she has overcome and the strength required to pursue her dreams.

Her words resonated with foster families and Team OB, inspiring them to embrace their own journeys with courage and confidence.
