Pre-launch of MIMI SERIES book by 'LeND'

The modest event took place at the Wesley school for the hearing impaired in Surulere which drew the active participation of the students, teaching staffs and well wishers from far and near. The event was flagged off with the national pledge and the anthem followed by a brief introduction of the organization by the project coordinator Eunice Aghete-Eso as well as the LeND team members present.






Opening remarks was made by the Project Manager of LeND, Okoro Onyebuchi Desmond, who share the ideals of the organization and a summary of the HIV & AIDS Affects us too, a project targeting adolescents and young people in selected schools on HIV prevention and Sexuality education.
