| Students of the YEC-Academy observe a shoemaking practical session. |
The team writes: "We believe that the journey of a thousand miles begins not just with a step in any direction, but rather with a right step taken towards a right direction. After several months and weeks of planning and
strategizing, the YEC-Academy was finally unveiled. .. The photography/film-making and shoemaking training commenced on Friday, August 24 at the Ibadan North-West Local Government premises with a total number of forty-seven students (out of the fifty-seven selected students), three volunteers and a representative from the local government were in attendance. All the students present had high expectations about what YEC-Academy has to offer them, so they came prepared with an open mind and writing
materials. A brief opening was done by CYFI Vocational Training fellow Ebenezer Akinrinade to better prepare the students for the task ahead and also to introduce the YEC-Academy team and other volunteers present. Shoe-making class was anchored by CYFI Vocational Training fellow Obinna Echendu and assisted by Mr. James Onyebuchi (OJamesFootWears), while the photography class was anchored by Mr. Oladipo O’Fresh and assisted by Mr. Oloyede Abiodun (both from FreshProNig). Ebenezer Akinrinade monitored the two sessions and also took pictures. Facilitators were able to connect with the students which was evident from the number of questions asked during the sessions. Students in the shoemaking section had fun learning about shoe-making equipments with a practical demonstration on how to make palm-slippers. The session lasted for five hours."
We wish YEC-Academy the best as they enter their second week!
