Legend Hotel hosts girl child advocate, Zuriel Oduwole
Zuriel, who was accompanied by her father, Ademola, trained select children from the SOS Children’s Villages Nigeria on film making, editing and production on Wednesday, February 19.
Legend Hotel welcomed the child advocate and highly accomplished teenager, giving her the platform at the hotel's Cyber Room to interact, inspire and train the participants.
Speaking on the essence of hosting Zuriel and children from SOS Children’s Villages Nigeria, Mr. Peter Idoko, General Manager, Legend Hotel Lagos Airport, said we are excited about Zuriel’s dream and passion to empower the young ones, youths and most especially her advocacy for education of the girl. We are delighted to have hosted her and her team giving her a conducive platform to impact knowledge and equip the participants with the foundational skills required to become film makers and creative artists.
On her part, Zuriel graciously thanked the management of Legend Hotel Lagos Airport, Curio Collection by Hilton for hosting her and making her and her father feel at home. She also thanked Legend Hotel for sharing in her passion and providing her a serene platform to contribute to global efforts aimed at empowering every child.
Zuriel’s parting words to the participants will hopefully linger long in their minds; ‘I hope I can inspire you all to find something you’re passionate about; to work hard at it, in order to be whatever you want to be when you’re older’.
Commenting during the event on behalf of the SOS Children’s Villages Nigeria, the Ag. Head Fund Development, Mr. Gboyega Fadowole-Aje said,
“We are extremely excited and grateful for the collaboration in the best interest of the Nigerian child and especially for sharing the SOS CVN belief that “No child should grow up Alone”
“SOS Children’s Villages continues to be the world’s largest international non-governmental organization focused on supporting children who have lost or are at risk of losing parental care. Our continued support to children around the world especially in Nigeria is only possible through the support of corporate bodies and individuals that collaborate with us to ensure the improved lives of children and young people in our programs, and enabling these children and young people have a future better than their past. He further noted that the continued collaboration would help to improve the lives of children and young people in the country and help them to realise and utilise their unique gifts”
