“I believe that my community, and by extension, the nation and the world at large, will get transformed, one child at a time” – Ebenezer Chukwudi Umahi.
Ebenezer is a Grassroots Development Champion passionate about helping young people discover and pursue their purpose early. He is a medical student at the University of Benin, Edo. He is an author and an Entrepreneur.
His passion led him to carry out the “Teenage-to-Purpose” project at Russel International School, Benin-city, Edo state. He chose the project because he wanted to empower young people to know the purpose of their existence and to start building towards it as early as they can, and awaken in them the consciousness that preparation for their future starts now, their teenage years.
In the course of the project, he taught the participants on the essential role of life planning in attaining a fulfilling career choice, informed the students on the need to discover who they are and their capabilities early, and also to make career decisions that are in line with their purpose.
At the end, a good percentage of the students who were present committed to having a purposeful living and maximum life accomplishment by early career/life planning; this will definitely go a long way in raising responsible citizens, increase the workforce, and reduce the rate of criminals in my community.
The project positively impacted the students as most of them committed to having a purposeful living and maximum life accomplishment by early career/life planning. This will go a long way in raising responsible citizens, increase the workforce, and reduce the rate of criminals in my community.
