“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”
– Benjamin Franklin
Life is a roller coaster of learning experiences from which we would never graduate.

From the quotes above, I’m sure you already get the drift of this post.
Along the line in our advocacy, we discovered we were, and still are, ‘unlearned’ in the game. The knowledge of this didn’t stop us from striving to create a change in Society.
However, one of the things God does when He sees an unskilled but willing vessel is to introduce him or her to destiny helpers who will help ‘sharpen’ his own for His chosen assignment.
It was a miracle when we came across the Leprosy Mission Nigeria. We’re glad to be ‘mentees’ of such a formidable organization that has made a tremendous impact in renewing hope and giving life to despondent people.
In what we consider a very interactive and mind-drilling retreat in Port -Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria, which lasted four (4) days, Alex who is a co – laborer in the Engraced Ones ( A Support Group for Special Needs), and I, got the opportunity to learn about Project Cycle Management.
Suffice it to say, it won’t be business as usual in our daily operations at the Engraced Ones because we met the ones who were able to ‘lighten our darkness’. The full impact of the Training won’t be anything you can read from a post but rather, the improved impact you’ll be seeing in the outcome of what we’d do in the disability space and in society at large.
It was also a fantastic opportunity to network with other organizations across the Nation, of Nigeria.
Wow! We’re here to say a big thank you to the Management of The Leprosy Mission Nigeria for this wonderful opportunity to un-learn, re-learn and re-fire!
