Millennium Fellowship Project: EduPlus: Nurturing Academic Excellence in Secondary Schools
Here is a step-by-step detail of how I initiated my project.
1. I, alongside 2 others - Chisom Chukwuma, Michael Anayo, founded a group called "Students' Renaissance Initiative Team". Later on, Winner Tidings joined our team.
2. My team called for a book drive, allowing us to gather over a hundred secondary school books from people, mainly university students.
3. Later on, we went to 1 public secondary school and an orphanage home which houses over a hundred students in various secondary schools. These books were donated to the school and home for use by the students after knowing that many of them couldn't afford textbooks for their studies.
Also, as a volunteer of an NGO called Creating Healthy Community and Kingship Medical Missions (C.H.E.C.K), I contributed, between August - November, towards two outreaches at two different public secondary schools. Through this outreaches, students were enlightened on various subject matters and had first aid box donated to their schools.
