Kenna Partners Collaborates with AIFA Reading Society for “Celebrating The Gems Around Us” on Children’s Day

What makes a child special?

Every child possesses unique characters, strengths and abilities that allows them express their individuality. It is this individual uniqueness that makes every child special. To truly harness and develop a child’s uniqueness and maximum potential, every child requires and deserves attention, love, support and protectionChildren’s Day is a special day set aside to honour children globally and express their value in our society. It is dedicated towards raising awareness on children’s rights and well-being globally. Children’s day is observed on different dates around the world and in Nigeria, May 27 is the day set out as children’s day.

The first programme set out for the day was the AIFA Book Club. The theme for this year’s Children’s Day celebration was ‘Protecting the future of the Nigerian child’. To this end, the Society invited Mrs. Olatunde Turner-Edem, a Guidance Counsellor, author and the founder of HopeHouse Counselling and Consulting Services to read and discuss one of her books, ‘Kelvin’s Adventure of Staying Super Safe’ in a bid to sensitize them on child abuse. The book highlights preventive methods which every child requires to stay safe from abuse especially abuse initiated by adults in whom their protection has been entrusted. The author advised teachers and guardians to be more sensitive and respectful of a child’s decision, most especially by understanding that their ‘NO’ simply means ‘NO’.

In the same light, the Society carried out another major initiative of the Society, Calculate2Succeed where over a hundred (100) students were empowered with branded mathematical sets (donated by Kenna Partners) and educated on its accurate uses.

An important method of eradicating illiteracy and poverty, is supporting the education of children. Kenna Partners collaborates with AIFA Reading Society in its mission to spread literacy in the world, provides adequate educational support for children in a bid to educate, build their confidence, creative abilities, as well as encourage them and develop their enthusiasm for learning.
