In a show of appreciation to its partners and volunteers for the AjegunleLIFE and Techtiary Programs, Paradigm Initiative feted them recently at a cocktail held at Golden Tulip Hotel, Lagos.

According to Tosin Abolaji, a program manager at Paradigm Initiative, “our digital inclusion programs, Techtiary and LIFE, leverage the support of a pool of volunteers and partners who offer their talent, time and resources. This is an integral of part of what we do in providing better livelihood through the programs.

“Hence, we do not take their efforts for granted without expressing how grateful we are for their valuable contribution to providing excellent support for our work.”

At the event, Tope Ogundipe, Paradigm Initiative’s director of Programs, opened the evening with a welcome note.

“Without the support of volunteers, the LIFE program would have folded up long ago. We are grateful to you all; your contribution to the program has led to the empowerment of hundreds of youth.  We are here to celebrate & thank you,” Ogundipe enthused.

This was followed by a ‘thank you’ speech from ‘Gbenga Sesan, the executive director, who commended the contributions of the partners and volunteers make in supporting and serving. After thanking our partners and volunteers, there was a networking session which allowed the attendees engage and get to know each other.

Paradigm Initiative recognized each volunteer and partner, acknowledging their service with an award of voluntary service and partnership.
