OMLAS Experience: Being part of OMLAS has been a transformative experience, helping me see life from different angles. It's widened my outlook, making me more positive and hopeful in every situation. Our project's significant impact has been our campaign to raise awareness about the harmful effects of agrochemical pesticides. Young leaders who were initially hesitant to face the public are now able to inspire school students to use pesticides safely. What started with one school has grown to a total of ten, and each young leader is excited to run this campaign on their own. This way, we aim to reach more than 100 community schools.
