"...a society that cuts itself from its youth severs its lifeline, but a society that engages their interests, enlists their talents and liberates their energies brings hope to the entire world” (Kofi Anan). Welcome to Jennifer Ehidiamen's online dairy. "Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation" (Nelson Mandela).

Celebrating A Decade Of #Volunteering [Video]
Happy International Volunteers Day [IVD]!
For this year, I thought I should share this short video-- actually it was an interview for "On The Street", a youth program aired on TVC.
I hope you will encourage young people around you to start early? For more insight on how it might work with combining full time education and volunteering, you can read a copy of my new book "Half a Loaf and a Bakery." You can also download it from Okadabooks app on your android device or buy copies from Terra Kulture Bookstore Lagos, Florence and Lambard bookstore Lagos, or the Media Store, Silverbird Galleria, Abuja. The book covers youth volunteering, education, entrepreneurship and transitioning.
I am excited about today and tomorrow! On how the non-volunteer journey has been so far since... you can see the second video below:
For anyone who might have failed while attempting something this year, hey, cheer up! Failure is a good opportunity to do something differently in an improved way next time.
Here is wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a lovely 2015 of magical thinking and fruitful exploits!
There is a God.
