Application Open: Digital Sparks Teachers' Fellowship Program.

If you're a Primary 4, 5, or 6 teacher in a rural or peri-urban school in Nigeria or Rwanda, this is for you.

Eight weeks. Online. Free.

You'll spend two weeks figuring out what you already do well, the kind of teacher you've quietly become while nobody was clapping.

Then you'll take two lessons from the government curriculum and redesign them using materials your class already has.

Then we'll spend two weeks on the digital part, looking at what AI can actually do for your lesson planning, what it shouldn't touch, and how to keep your students safe online.

The last two weeks, you'll run something small in your classroom, it can be a simple project, a club or an educational campaign, and you'll teach your colleagues how to do the same.

Apply: bit.ly/digitalsparks-apply

Deadline: 27th May, 2026.

If you know a teacher who should see this, send it to them directly. Don't just like the post.

The river bends quietly through fields of green. From above, the land tells its own story. Water, soil, and people living in rhythm.

This is the calm before the celebration.

Today, the banks of the will come alive as nets touch the water, drums echo across the valley, and the people of gather for a tradition that has endured through generations.

The air will carry laughter. The river will hold the thrill. Every cast of the net will bring cheers from the crowd.

Moments like this are not watched from afar. They are lived.

Welcome to the .
Welcome to the river.
Welcome to Afon.

Today, history breathes again by the water. 🌿🐟✨
