“Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe.” — Oprah Winfrey

During yesterday’s at Laterbiokoshie 1 JHS breakout session, our incredible students took a deep dive into their futures. There is something so powerful about seeing the girls put scissors to paper and turn “someday” into a visual reality.

From career aspirations to personal growth milestones, these vision boards are more than just collages; they are blueprints for excellence. We believe that girls see their potential clearly, nothing can stop them from reaching it.

We fully endorse this initiative. The repercussions of sexual harassment in our educational institutions must be stringent enough to discourage rogue elements and their facilitators hiding in plain sight as educators.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Girls Excellent Movement (GEM) encourages every girl and woman in our community to prioritize their health! 💖

Awareness is Power. Knowing your body and understanding the importance of regular check-ups and self-exams are critical steps in early detection. This month, take the time to learn the signs and symptoms and share this life-saving information with the women you love.
