Summary

It was March Edition book review and a new set of books were read and reviewed.

Session Delivery

Our monthly book review session took place on the last Saturday of February. We were grateful to the Wyse family for their generous donation of books, which were used for the review. The participants were thrilled to explore new, colorful books filled with multiple stories.

The books were distributed equally among the teams, and the participants read them in groups of two and three. After ample time for reading and digestion, they reconvened to share their reviews. The content, focusing on history and religion, fascinated the attendees.

The session concluded with some participants requesting to borrow books to continue reading at home. In preparation for the upcoming pitching session on business proposals, a ballot system was implemented. Each team lead selected a business idea to pitch, choosing from options like leather bag production, liquid soap manufacturing, face mask creation, and game and calculator app development.

The team leads made their selections:

– Team Ikenwoli: Leather bag production

– Team Tea n Atuwatse III: Game and calculator app development

– Team Ginuwa: Liquid soap manufacturing

– Team Erejuwa: Face mask creation

With anticipation building, everyone departed, looking forward to the next session.
