Good Read: The Girl With The Louding Voice - Abi Dare

  In this remarkable story, Adunni, the main character, depicts ambition fuelled with a burning desire to succeed despite all odds. Tales of this type still abound in Lagos, and they are portrayed in the media daily. Adunni is hailed as the poor girl with a rich mind, "Sherlock Holmes," who never stops asking intelligent questions, a child-bride, and a strong-willed girl who grew up fast due to the circumstance her parents put her through. However, she had the guts to pursue the life she wanted. - An education by any means necessary.  Adunni finally got her groove back after reading such an easy book, I could relate to the characters there. the harsh and despicable reality of Lagos till date. I would recommend this book to my friends and would love to see it turned into a film.

Celebrating Volunteer Awards

-
Do-it was proud to attend two award ceremonies last week, the Team London Awards 2014 and the Third Sector Awards 2014. Both nights were fantastic celebrations of volunteering. We wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate two volunteers who have won very special awards. Beau Fadahunsi won the Mayor’s Special Achievement Award for her fantastic and tireless work as a Team London Ambassador since 2010, and has been described as “a kind, and caring person who is generous with her knowledge and experience, and leaves people feeling valued”. And, well done to Sacha Langton-Gilks, who won the Volunteer Of The Year at the Third Sector Awards for her volunteering with The Brain Tumour Charity.

Michael Shann, Ambassadors Programme Manager at Carers UK, and a judge at the awards, said: "Her never-give-up attitude is an inspiration for volunteers and staff."

Congratulations to  Beau Fadahunsi.

Oga I Beg!!! Impostor Nabbed In Nigeria's Army Outfit

The armed force are known for not joking around when it comes to spotting impostors wearing their outfits, whereas in some quarters, this could also be worn as a fashion statement! A man in Nigeria was caught and confronted by army officers for wearing a camouflage vest. He was later apprehended; but the impostor's response was not forthcoming but highly hilarious. Watch footage after the break.
