Joyful Bemore Participants Receive Brand-New Laptops, Extend Heartfelt Appreciation
Entering Day 3 of the Boot Camp
As the 2023 Bemore Summer Boot Camp progresses into its third day, the participants have been gifted with brand new laptops from the Bemore Empowered Girls’ Foundation, Organizers of the annual Boot Camp for Nigerian Girls.
During the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) class on Wednesday, the delighted Girls were presented with Dell and Lenovo laptops, where they were also instructed on using Microsoft Word software.
Running from the 13th to the 26th of August, the two-week program commenced effectively on Monday with an Opening Ceremony held at Mabest Academy, Oke-Ijebu, Akure, the capital of Ondo State, which serves as the Boot Camp’s venue.
In response, the thrilled Bemore Girls expressed their surprise and gratitude for the laptops, extending their thanks to the Founder of Bemore for this provision.
Johnson Deborah, a Bemore Girl affiliated with SDG 17, shared: “Receiving the laptop was a huge surprise for me. I never expected they would provide us with laptops. I was both shocked and happy because owning a laptop was something I had never experienced before. We explored various functions like designs, PowerPoint, creating letters, playing with styles, and adding colors – it was really engaging. My heartfelt thanks to Grandma, Mrs. Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu. Thank you, Grandma. I love you.”
Another Bemore Girl, Ayesoro Gbolaga, from SDG 13, expressed, “I was absolutely amazed. It truly exceeded my expectations. The laptop’s touch-pad feature that can be folded into a tablet and operated by touching the screen is beyond what I imagined. It resembles an Android device. This is truly astounding. Thanks to Grandma and thanks to Bemore.”
Apart from this Laptop distribution, the girls engaged in other activities, including a lecture on Renewable Energy, covering its nature, types, and solar energy applications. They also participated in a class focusing on Menstrual Health and Hygiene, including the production of reusable Sanitary Pads.
Additionally, they had a Dance Training Session and their customary morning physical exercise, which sets the tone for each day, ensuring their physical and mental well-being.
