When children learn from the right source, you can be sure they’d pick the right values. It is in this spirit that KKIC students today visited two primary schools within the neighbourhood to exhibit their philanthropic traits.
A year ago, three students from the school, Eze Michael, Bienose Godswill and Ishola Quam participated in the “The Nigerian Child Initiative TNCI” essay competition.
After emerging winners for each of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which they wrote about, they are to serve as ambassadors of the goals for a year, a period during which they would carry out a project to support their goals within their community.
Considering the time at their disposal and rather than waste time and resources on irrelevancies, the students put heads together and came up with one unifying project since they’re in the same school. They proceeded to establish a club known as Social Impact Club for SDG in the school.
Many of their colleagues joined. The club has twenty members of senior school students, and with their help, they came up with the idea of visiting neighbouring public primary schools and contributing the little resources they can raise to support the learning of students in those schools.
With the help of the school Chief Learning Officer, Chief Kaoli Olusanya, coupled with the little amount they were able to raise, today, these students were led by one of their teachers, Mr Abiola Temitope, and three representatives from TNCI, to donate various learning-enhancing materials to two public schools, Methodist Primary School at Ibeshe and Owode Primary School, Ibelefun Ikorodu, Lagos.
The joy on the faces of the pupils of those schools and the happiness of KKIC students will ever remain memorable.
