Moments spent with our cute little butterflies

Have you wondered why those green days are fast fading or why the heat seems to be taking over in an unusual manner? Well, we did find the answer. Climate change is taking place. 

This January, the butterfly team started an awareness campaign in primary schools on the issue of global warming and how it's effect can be reduced. For a start, the project began last week at LEA Primary School Kado Estate, Abuja where the team was greeted with happy faces from the excited children. It was a moment of over-the-top fun as the children were taught several things ranging from basic terms to how the cycle is created.

This week, the fun moment continued as the volunteers continued to raise awareness among the children. They used interactive teaching tools suitable for the kids ranging from drama, pictures and paper cuttings. The team enjoyed maximum support from them as the kids were ready to participate in all the activities. The kids were excited to learn as they had never heard of the concept of global warming and were quite surprised to see how little harmless actions can add to the increasing changes within their environment. The kids dressed up as climate heroes with the help of their volunteer teachers and were ready to save the world!(I love that part most)

At the end of the day, we all had fun and so the members of the team decided to take some really fun pictures with the kids. Er...Some of the kids were ready to take their awareness to the next level(laughing).
Nothing can be better than a Friday spent hanging out with positive little souls. Everyone is really looking forward to next week. See photos in the gallery

P.S: Did you notice that cute little one that appeared a lot in the pictures? I did too!Absolutely breathtaking! So, i guess we can conclude that impact + fun = Butterfly (grins).

Welcome to the Butterfly Project Blog

The butterfly mind initiative is a vision built on the foundation of love and impact. We care deeply about our community and the bright young minds in it.

WHY WE CARE

We care because we believe in three cardinal principles;

1.      Love – Love is all encompassing. It fuels hope, positivity and belief. It is the greatest of every emotion that dwells on earth and one that connects us to the heavens. Most importantly, it is a tool capable of saving humanity

2.     Community development – We firmly believe that our society and the world at large can only progress through meaningful community development activities. All our impact activities are geared towards enabling us and the volunteers that partner with us participate fully and actively in community development. The synergy, growth and communion which results from such belief is what drives us.

3.      Young persons – We at butterfly mind initiative believe strongly that young people are the leaders of the future and that the community has a responsibility to invest and develop the minds of the future today. We simply seek to be a platform through which this dream and vision becomes a reality.

HOW WE CARE

We care by engaging actively in projects that build the minds of young people. We believe that the emerging dreams and personalities of young people should be tended to with love, care and respect so that they can progress smoothly from child – youth – adult. Like the symbolic butterfly that progresses from lava – pupa – adult butterfly. We hope that through impact projects, young people will grow and soar like beautiful butterflies. When this is done, the community will reap bountifully from having active citizens.

These cardinal principles are what drive us to care for young people, the community, our volunteers and the world at large.

HOW YOU CAN CARE

This beautiful journey of impact would not be complete without the amazing efforts of people like you. At Butterfly Mind Initiative, we believe everyone has all it takes to care for their community and that little acts of love do count. Our projects involves a lot of small acts which when added together will create a powerful effect. 

The butterfly project and the community will be honoured to have you volunteer your mind, skills, resources or person to any of our projects.
