Over =N=300,000 per term (3 month) which is equivalent to $1000 (Excluding fee for extra-curricular). I looked at myself and I said, "The community where I was raised, students do not have access to such facilities." Let's forget the facilities, "can they even afford $3 for feeding ?. The children of you and I may find it difficult to attend such schools. I visited a school in a particular area in Ogun State and I saw the teacher hustling with a student to ensure he pays his school fee. You may want to ask how much 1000 Naira I.e. equivalent to $3. The fact is children in rural communities face starkly a different life because of th...

We also had a session on Character Education.Character determine success. Character is who we really are, even when no one is watching. Having "Good character" means doing the right thing just because it is right to do what is ...

Whoa! It's a year already. This time last year we were pregnant with this dream. The dream to ensure that Secondary School Students live up to their potential. The dream to ensure that they can connect what they do in the classroom with the practical world. The dream to ensure that students develop life skills that enable them integrate into the labor market. The dream to provide positive role models and mentors to students. And create students who are character conscious and can replicate democracy. The dream to promote a peaceful society and create young and ethical leaders. The dream to break the poverty cycle and ensure that students in underserved communities are exposed to skills that enable them to compete with their peers. The dream to inspire them to dream. To our delight, we are happy students have start to make decisions that affect their lives and lives of other people. Some of our students have started the Say No To Girl Child Abuse Initiative. That's amazi...
