Wow, what an awesome adventure the boys had at the Ngwo Bootcamp!

Hosted by the Building Boys Foundation and Academy and kindly sponsored by Ajuluchukwu Ozor Eze, Esq., the camp turned into a real-life superhero training ground.

The boys dived into exciting games of critical thinking, lively role-plays, chatty group discussions, and super-fun dramas.

Through all the laughter and “aha!” moments, they discovered the five big pillars of emotional intelligence — the secret powers that help every boy become the best version of himself.

This session didn’t just teach them big words. It gave them real, everyday superpowers they can use right away:
Thought Reframing – flipping “I can’t” into “I can try!”
Self-Awareness Journey – getting to know the real you inside
Self-Regulation – staying calm when feelings get big
Empathy Building – putting yourself in a friend’s shoes
Motivation & Soft Skills – cheering yourself on and being a great teammate

This session was facilitated by Coach Uzoamaka Nwachukwu, co-founder of Cope and Live Mental Health Awareness Foundation.

Emotional wellbeing is not feeling positive all the time. It is having the awareness, skills, support and resources to navigate the full range of human emotion in constructive ways.

CALMHAF TAKES CALMNESS TO THE ANDOVER HOTEL! 👏

Hotel staff in Nigeria often carry more than the guest list: long shifts, understaffing, difficult guests, irregular rosters, rising costs, and the pressure to stay cheerful while exhausted. The result is fatigue, missed details, and worn-down teams.

On 22 September 2026, CALMHAF, through COLI Mental Health Academy, ran a tailored stress management workshop at The Andover Hotel, Enugu. The focus was staying calm under pressure so service, focus, and workplace climate stay strong.

Staff learned eustress vs distress, how to spot triggers, how the body and mind react to stress, and practical tools for the floor. Breakouts and hotel scenarios practised calm language, ownership without self-blame, and recovery after difficult guests. Wellness games and play therapy restored energy and team spirit.

The session was led by Rev. Chukwudiebube Nwachukwu and Mrs. Uzoamaka Nwachukwu, moderated by Miss Ophilia Alete of Correct FM Enugu, with support from Ifeoma Nwafor, Chiderah Chidi, and Precious Nwodo.

44 staff attended, including the General Manager. Participants left with tools they can use immediately. Supporting wellbeing is an investment in performance and retention.
CALMHAF and COLI Mental Health Academy can deliver the same workshop for other hospitality teams. Contact us to book at [email protected]. Call Toll Free - 08000002673.

The Ngwo Boys lit up with pure, unfiltered joy. In those play therapy sessions, they discovered something powerful: expressing emotions isn’t weakness—it’s freedom.

Laughter, movement, storytelling, and creative play became their safe language. No stiff lectures, no pressure to “man up.” Just space to feel, to be messy, to be honest.

Led by Coach Uzoamaka Nwachukwu, Co-Founder of Cope and Live Mental Health Awareness Foundation, the sessions gently reminded every boy that his inner child is still alive, still worthy of being seen, heard, and valued. Play therapy does more than entertain—it rewires how young hearts process stress, builds emotional vocabulary, and teaches that vulnerability is actually strength in disguise.

When boys learn early that it’s okay to name what they feel, they grow into men who can handle life’s storms without shutting down or exploding.

Huge respect to the Building Boys Foundation and Academy, together with sponsor Ajuluchukwu Ozor Eze Esq, for creating this kind of space. Platforms like this don’t just occupy time—they plant seeds. They raise boys who will one day become kinder fathers, stronger partners, and better leaders. And that, honestly, is how we quietly change the world—one joyful, emotionally free boy at a time.
