A Nigerian youth corps member has inspired many on social media by renovating a dilapidated classroom after being unable to sleep upon seeing its condition during her first visit.
This is detailed in a new video she posted on her social media page, where she explains what motivated her to take this significant step.
She shared that when she first entered the classroom and saw its state, she couldn’t sleep that night.
Determined to make a difference, she resolved to renovate the classroom and repair the chairs.
The video includes a lengthy note that further elaborates on her experience:
“The truth is, going to NYSC last year was not an easy task for me, but deep down, I knew I wanted to do it, at least for my mother’s sake…I still cannot understand what mothers see in NYSC🤣.”
“I was posted to Madalla Secondary School in Suleja, where I teach SS1A Biology…my favorite subject😁.”
“The moment I entered this class, I knew I had to do something about its condition. And guess what? I DID IT🥳 Thanks to my amazing friends and the quality Rotarians around me; you guys mean the world to me.x”
“Was it easy? NO.”
“Was it a challenge? YES.”
“Did I give up at some point? YES.”
“Did it take my time? YES.”
“BUT I DID IT ANYWAY!!!”
“I had two goals in mind: The first was to create a conducive learning environment, and the second was to establish a mini-workshop to encourage the kids to take more accountability and responsibility for their actions.”
“The truth is, nobody or government can save you unless you take responsibility for what you can do to help yourself.”
“Dear friends, NYSC, Madalla community, the principal, my LGI (Local Government Inspector), my Matron, my students, and my beautiful self for making this possible. Also, thanks for your support, love, and kindness❤️.”
