One day myself and a very good friend of mine who also happened to be my next door neighbour came up with an idea. And imediately we started implementing it.
Kids in my estate are always around our houses and i think probably because of how we relate with them and for sure its also because of how welcoming and approachable we are. There is this special bonding and connection with each child. I personally like talking to them and telling them stories of when I was little just like them and things like that.
So me and Nimisha (my next door neighbor ) were discussing on what we can do with these kids this summer just to keep them busy. Then we decided we will bring them together, organise an event that include sports, talent shows, fashion shows, drama, singing and dancing all by the kids.
We then spoke to estate management and few parents and the feed back was possitive. So we went ahead with the process. We imidiately started rehearsals with the kids.
When the kids were told about the event you could see their little bright faces full of passion and excitements and they were so ready to do it. That was how Naija roars summer sports/feista was born.
The sports day took place on the 15th August 2015 and the feista day was a week later which was on the 22nd August 2015. Everything went really well. Kids had fun, parents came out and supported. The Kids were presented with their medals and prizes. Every one had fun and there was so much to eat and drink.
A big thank you to all the parents that supported the event. Especially Dr Kemi, Mrs Akindele, Mrs Bola, and Mrs Okunlola (top Angel) for their immense participation. Also A big thanks goes to our husbands Mr patil and Alhj jibril Buba, without their support and consent we would not be able to do this.
Also thanks to Domino's for the free pizzas. Thanks to Nimisha Patil the co-founder, without her this wouldn't have happened. Both of us worked really hard in making the event a reality. I am extremely excited at our ingenuity, doggedness and resilience.
Looking forward to Naija roars 2016.
