Painting Hope...

As the year 2009 draws to a close, and we spend the holidays with our loved ones, partying and making merry, we need to remember to give to the less privileged as well, and the Power in Numbers (P.I.N) event was our way of giving back.

The event was organized by the Inspiring Actions Initiative and partner organizations AIPA (Against Illiteracy Poverty and AIDS)(http://www.aipanigeria.com/) and The Cougars (http://www.theredandgoldcougars.blogspot.com/) and was featured in HiMagazine and BellaNaija blog.  The initiative involved painting and decorating all the classrooms at Hope Primary School in Ikoyi.

It began at 9am and lasted till late afternoon. Numerous young Nigerians were in attendance and helped with painting and decoration of the classrooms...
