Introduction by BEMORE Ambassador - Ekweuba Peace .U.

“BEMORE” Summer bootcamp, is a young girls initiative program set out to empower young Nigerian girls with life changing skills such as ICT, Solar, Leadership and Entrepreneurship and also enlighten them on breast cancer.

I am very happy to be in BEMORE Camp this year because ever since I was born, I have never been in any camp. This camp has thought me a lot of things I so not know. We have learn ICT, Solar Energy and Solar Cells, Weather and Climate, Leadership and Entrepreneurship, Creative Writing and Communication. This program has opened my eyes to the world. It made me to know about Microsoft word in ICT, Hardware and Software. We were also taught about breast cancer and its prevention and control. I found out that the lecture classes are very awesome and great. I thank God for making me witness this camp. I would love to come back to this camp next year. I am very grateful.

I am very happy to get this opportunity to be in the BEMORE summer boot camp for Girls Naija because its one of the most wonderful experiences I’ve ever had. I really gained a lot from the camp which gave me knowledge of the things I never knew such as ICT, Solar Energy, Leadership/Entrepreneurship, Creative Writing, Skill acquisition (such as make up ) and Climate Change. I really benefitted a lot from the camp which I will make sure I practice and create awareness so that People in my community will benefit from me just as I benefited from the camp which was organized by a caring mother and a role model who wants the best from the young girls of this generation. I believe with my newly acquired knowledge, I will do exploits in my generation.

At BEMORE Girls camp Owerri sponsored by our mummy Her Excellency Chief Mrs Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, I have experienced so many things which I never knew existed. For example the existence of Solar Energy. It was my first time learning about Solar Energy and other forms of Renewable Energy. I was also taught about the components needed in its constructions and the procedures. I learnt so many useful life changing lessons. Example, I was taught about Leadership; How to be a good Leader, Awareness of breast cancer and how to be a good computer operator and of course our awesome music class. I will not forget to mention our skill acquisition class. I hereby declare that the BEMORE camp experience is indeed life changing for me and I heartily thank our mother for creating this one in a life time opportunity for me.

I am very happy to be a participant of the BEMORE summer bootcamp. I learnt about breast cancer and its control and also self-examination every month. I know how to be a good and exemplary leader and also how to create and market my product or service. I have learnt how to creatively write and communicate my message with others. I also learnt how to operate a computer. I learnt about climate change for the first time, its effects and how I can combat it. I can now proudly boast as a young girl who have the knowledge of Solar Energy. I can now build a solar oven without buying kerosene. I can make make my beads without buying from elsewhere. My BEMORE Experience was a very fantastic one which I would never forget because it has made me to become a good and dependable citizen of my country. I thank Her Excellency for bringing this great opportunity to Owerri to benefit myself and other young girls. May God bless her, Amen.
I was full of surprises when I came to the BEMORE camp. I observed that the facility was beautiful and very conducive for learning. All thanks to the First Lady H.E Mrs Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu. These are invaluable experiences which money cannot buy. I am indeed privileged to have this opportunity that many other girls don’t have. Thank you for the opportunity to write this letter to express my gratitude to my big mummy, the First Lady. She is indeed an exemplary first lady because of her kind heart.
