We Rise, We Lead, We Impact
21 Students. 5 Weeks. A Future Rewritten.
The 2026 ICT Summer Boot Camp at CIDJAP, Enugu, has come to a joyful close. Twenty-one students from nine schools across Enugu State — fifteen of them from Nenwe alone — graduated with real, marketable skills in Computer Applications, Graphic Design, and Web Development. This issue is dedicated entirely to their journey.

From Launch to Graduation
The Full Story of Our First Cohort
From arrival day at King's Kids Comprehensive Secondary School — where students first chanted "We rise, we lead, we impact!" — through five weeks of hands-on training at Verbum Networks, CIDJAP, this cohort covered real ground: Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; CorelDRAW and Photoshop; and semantic tags, navigation, and layout in web development. Four Web Development students received brand-new laptops mid-program, a Week 4 wellness outing gave the whole cohort a Saturday to relax, bond, and win motivational books in a Bible quiz, and the program closed on September 11th with certificates, a leadership seminar, and standout student presentations.
From the Closing Address
"You are now part of that ripple. That's how a fifteen-dollar donation in 1982 became a foundation that has now helped a thousand students. It didn't stop with one person."
— Donnie Chukwuemeka Ikpa, IT Strategist & Cloud Technology Mentor, closing address (delivered live via Google Meet)

Urgent Need
Computers and Laptops for Our Graduates
Skills fade without practice. Several of our strongest graduates — including our student stars above — now need a computer of their own to keep building on what they learned. If you have a fairly good used laptop sitting idle, it could become the tool that shapes a young person's career.
