November 2022 Newsletter: It is a wrap! A story of Impact!

It is a wrap! A story of Impact! The recently concluded AYITI 3.0 was with a bang. For the very first time, 13 children graduated from AYITI 3.0, against my usual 5 to 20 ratio of AYITI graduates.

We are living in an interesting time; a time in which the whole world is pausing due to a disease that is threatening everyone’s existence. Schools were forced to close, religious activities are on hold, airplanes were grounded, and several industries need to re-think, re-evaluate, re-strategize what survival implies for their businesses during and after a “global lockdown”.
