Dear African Child, You are the future because the world population is declining, but Africa has the largest and youngest population in the world. Africa has you! You will be leading Africa soon, and you will also make up a large part of the skilled labour force on the continent. You will be her voice, her strength, and her heart. Africa is still the least developed continent, and you will play a key role in her transformation, so you must arise and fulfil your potential. Dear African child, you have to push boundaries. Have an affinity for knowledge and seek out opportunities. Let the stories of others inspire you, then forge your path. Do not be defined by wealth or poverty. Rise above cultural and religious biases and limitations, as well as those that exist in your mind. Invest time in developing practical skills that align with your interests and career aspirations. Look for mentors in your community who can guide you in areas like technology, entrepreneurship, or sustainable development. You must ask yourself: What change do I want to see in Africa, and what role can I play in creating this change? You are not too small to create change, dear child. Explore local leadership programmes, start a community project that addresses a pressing issue in your area, or identify an existing initiative where you can contribute your skills and make a positive impact. You are an integral part of Africa; create the future you want to see.

Hi there, Never forget this. You are in your hands. Everything you will grow up to become or not is your choice to make. You are responsible for your own growth. You are the driver and your passenger. No risk is too big, no mountain too high, and no seas too deep if you choose and commit to a dream. No one owes you anything, but if you do your best every time, the universe will conspire to give you all the luck it has to make sure you succeed. So, kid, never forget, that you are your first and biggest responsibility. That’s how you change the world. Love, Praise Philemon

During the Project, we also visited Mega Primary School, Kurugbene, where we also trained 30 students in the school using the SeedDEV Learning Application that helps to introduce students to programming with Python, Java, C#, Javascript, Php. The kids were very excited to be a part of the training as most of them have not seen or worked with a computer system before the visit.

In commemoration of the Africa Code Week organized annually since 2015 to spark the interest of young Africans in Coding, our hour of code event was at FUTA Secondary School, Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria. The Jss 3 students of the school were introduced to programming with Python, C#, php, Node js, and Java using the SeedDEV learning App. A total of 126 students were trained in the event.

During the third week of the girl child I.C.T empowerment Initiative, the girls were introduced to computer programming and computational thinking with Scratch. The girls learnt to create animations, story boards, simple games and simple calculators using Scratch. It was an exciting week introducing the girls to the world of computer programming.
