She also, in a session, spoke about human rights calling these vital for everyone.
She also emphasized on the principal of “Do No Harm” and motivated students on leadership and life skills. On a different occasion, Sedekieno Rino, a peace activist, also spoke on Anti-War toys, as children may replicate the violent content they see on entertainment media.

Tungoe encouraged the participants to be willing to accept and overcome mistakes and failure adding that to be leaders they should work hard to build themselves in self-discipline, character and values by always setting good examples.
