2017 JAN LEAD CAMP

2017 JAN LEAD Camp
“I AM HERE TO GET EVERYTHING THE LEAD CAMP HAS TO GIVE”

The girls arrived from various locations across the nation to be a part of the 2017 Junior Achievement Nigeria’s Leadership, Empowerment, Achievement and Development (LEAD) Camp sponsored by Union Bank Nigeria for the second year in a row.

These 13 to 18 year olds have come to Lagos ‘the centre of excellence’ with big dreams and hope to carve a niche for themselves during their week-long stay at the JA Nigeria LEAD Camp.

During the orientation session by our Executive Director, Mrs. Sini Nwogugu, the girls introduced themselves and shared the aspirations they had for their lives and the world at large. One of the girls hit the nail on head as she said “I am here to get everything this camp has to give”. That is the kind of determination that is needed to create tomorrow’s leaders.

On arrival, the JA Nigeria staff met some parents as they dropped their daughters off who expressed their excitement about the opportunity that LEAD Camp will offer their daughters  and their joy that their daughters are taking part.

Another highlight from the first day was an impromptu visit from veteran actors, Ramsey Nouah and Desmond Elliot who were on set nearby and joined us to speak to the girls. They encouraged the girls to believe in themselves and the power they have as women to change the world.
