Laureates Science Innovation and Education Initiative - Laureates SIE (Ebonyi Laureates)

Whenever I see this tweet, I think of Laureates Science Innovation and Education Initiative - Laureates SIE (Ebonyi Laureates). Three doctors from Ebonyi state, Emmanuel Idenyi , Jacob Njideka Nwafor and I, decided to start a platform to connect our people to self development opportunities. I am excited about how far we have come. I am also excited about how much impact we are making, I can remember deciding to halt our DataCamp Donates project, then I read an essay about how much impact the project had on one of our learners that was the day I reapplied for our third year of partnership. We might not be the most formal org out there, we might not have the fanciest website (I recall being too ashamed to share our website Url) but it's not about esthetics or some checklists of formality. If we waited for perfection we wouldn't be here. We are making impact, one opportunity at a time. We have also created a movement, everyday I am excited when different people share opportunities on our community chat. Our passion project is not perfect but it works. Anyone who is from Ebonyi state or knows about Ebonyi state knows that this project is needed and necessary. Its existence more than its perfection. We have also had an overwhelming support from our community. Ndi Ebonyi have rallied around us and we have grown into a much bigger team of hardworking Ebonyians without whom we wouldn't even exist today. Thank you to our amazing team; Nnenna Eze Janet Colette Okike Okoro Sunday Chinonyelum Uchechukwu David Agbo Emmanuel Ucha Success Chukwu Christian Oko Obiora Okechukwu Thank you also to all Ebonyians, Nigerians and the members of the international community who have been resource persons in our programs at no cost to us. #EbonyiLaureates #STEMEbonyi
