The Ripplets

🌊🖊️ MAKING RIPPLES AGAIN

Two days of learning. Two days of writing. Two days of finding stories, sharpening skills, and discovering the power of the pen.

The recently concluded 2-Day Campus Journalism Seminar-Workshop gave our young journalists another opportunity to learn, grow, and make their voices heard.

And once again, The Ripplets made waves. 🌊
