The Rotary Club of Akowonjo has made a significant impact in the community by launching a special ‘Back to School’ initiative at Rauf Aregbesola Primary School in Shasha, Lagos. Led by President Ben Dare, the project has positively affected the lives of over 400 primary school students by providing them with essential educational supplies.
This initiative, part of the Rotary Club’s Basic Education and Literacy Project, showcases the organization’s dedication to helping young people and promoting a love for learning. The club provided students with important resources like school bags, books, stationery, and water bottles, ensuring that every child has the tools they need to succeed in their education.
President Dare emphasized the importance of education, stating, “Education is power. It gives you the leverage to be a better citizen and contribute to nation-building.” The goal of this initiative is to nurture young minds and keep hope alive for a better future in Nigeria. He expressed the collective hope that everyone in Nigeria takes responsibility for supporting the younger generation.
The benefits of this project will reach far beyond the classroom walls. By focusing on basic education, the Rotary Club of Akowonjo is contributing to national development and encouraging students to become engaged citizens. This initiative serves as a source of hope for a brighter future, where young Nigerians are prepared to tackle the challenges of the modern world.
Dare shared his vision for the future, stating, “In a few years’ time, our prayer and joy will be to see this younger generation standing up to be counted, representing Nigeria and making Nigeria proud.”
Through the ‘Back to School’ initiative, the Rotary Club of Akowonjo is setting a powerful example of community service and commitment to education. Their efforts inspire others in the community to get involved and support educational initiatives, fostering a culture of learning for all.
