Standing on a grassy patch with a microphone in hand, Soipan addressed students and dignitaries, urging young people to take pride in protecting the environment and valuing education. “Today was a nostalgic return to my alma mater, Ole Ntutu Arid Zone Comprehensive School, to mark Mazingira Day 2025,” she wrote in her social media post accompanying photos from the event.
