Narrative of the children’s day event:
The children of Jigo-Bwari were not left out at this year’s May 27th children’s day event. Young BPW members represented by (Chioma Onoshakpor, Ayo Lawal, Isioma Idemudia, Gimbiya Galadima, and Tolu Ojuolape) set out to have fun and celebrate with the children of solid foundation academy, Jigo- Bwari. They resented talks on Personal Hygiene, Patriotism, and Climate change. It was life-changing as the children were engaged in questions and answer sessions to enhance their thought-processing skills.
