OHMO COVID-19 AWARENESS NATIONAL STUDENTS COMPETITION

If you are a high school student or university student, Oli Health Magazine Organization (OHMO) invites you  to participate in COVID-19 Awareness and Prevention National Competition.  The competition introduces all students to issues arising due to COVID19 in Rwanda. 

In response to the COVID-19 crisis and the closure of schools, our team organized a competition that aims to educate students about how they can help their community and how to fight against COVID-19. Students who participate in this competition will benefit from self-learning about COVID-19, receiving participation certificates, and prizes to the winners. In addition, the Rwanda community will benefit as a whole since our team would like to work with these students in the long term for the prevention of other health pressing issues.

In this competition, a student can choose to do one of the following arts : Videos, Poems, Songs, Dance Choreographies, Cartoon stories, and articles (Essay). Students are encouraged to choose one or to do all of them as stated above. 

Please follow the instructions below how to do and submit your application:
