Education is one of the most important tools a child can have.😪 But unfortunately, not every child has access to the basic materials needed to make the most of their education. For some students, getting the required exercise books and textbooks can be a hassle. So, for the month of October, providing writing materials to students in rural areas was the Winnable Issue #LogosCircleBenin set out to tackle. We visited NIFOR Staff School, a government-owned primary school located on the outskirts of Benin City, to support students with writing materials. Before our visit, the teachers had identified students who couldn't afford all the writing materials and textbooks they were required to buy. It was revealed that some students, when asked to get, for example, 10 exercise books, would only come to school with 5, 6, or sometimes even less. These students were prioritised during the distribution and received additional books to help meet their needs. Other students also received exercise books and pens, while some books were given to the teachers too. In all, we distributed 360 exercise books, 7 Verbal Reasoning textbooks and 7 Quantitative Reasoning textbooks. We also had the opportunity to interact with the students, encouraging them to take their education seriously, remain disciplined and obey their parents. It was a beautiful experience putting smiles on those students' faces. 👇👇
