THE BEGINNING
The last day of the vocational week training started with fun, today so far attendants than we expected. The teenagers brought their parents, relatives and guardians to support the program.
BLOCKCHAIN AND CRYPTOCURRENCY SEMINAR
We couldn't let this program slip away without bringing to the public the platforms behind the vocational program. @stevendion gave the speech on blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, he introduced steemit.com as the sole sponsor of the program and explained to the audience how blockchain and cryptocurrency has affected the lives of people positively, given that through steemit.com which is a blockchain or cryptocurrency platform we created an organization to make the world a better place.
TALK SHOW : The bond of parents and children
A talk show was anchored by mrs sholuade who spoke on the bond that should exist between parents and children. There was questions and answers to the audience about family and parenting which was a great interactive session. She gave parental advice to the parents and guardians in terms of bonding and understanding their children, she also gave advices to the children, urging them to obey their parents and focus on their dreams. She gave examples from her childhood experience and urge the children never to lose focus and always have a determined heart.. Finally she pleaded with the parents never to chose a path for their children and allow them to follow their dreams.
GAME SHOW : How well do you know your child
A game was organized between parents and their children on how well they knew their children. Each parent was made to sit against their child without looking back. The parents and children were to answer questions in a card given to them about each other.
The questions were :
- what is your child's shoe size
- How old is your child
- what is the name of your child's best friend
- what is the name of your child's English teacher
- what is the name of your child's favorite colour
- what is the name of your child's favorite food
- what is your child's future ambition.
This game was made to test the bonds between parents and children, it was also a method of bringing the parents attention to the children creating a strong bond between them.. It enlightened them more to know what they never knew about their children.
BALLET DANCE
The ballet dance was a glorious one, the children were amazing and surprised their parents that they could learn how to dance in just a few days training.
Each child danced gracefully with smiles and happiness that they were been watched by their parents.
STEEM AWARD
@steemhelpinghand was awarded by Omoge initiative for hosting this successful project and also acting as a facilitator in the summer vocational program.

They have been supportive so far by bringing t-shirts for the teenage girls and providing a place for organization of the program.
THE EXHIBITION
Finally we are able to show off what the teenagers have practiced on so far.. The exhibition was breathe taking and gracious, it was so unexpected that these teenagers could learn so much in just a 5 days,the parents and invited guests were speechless. We presented the products made by the teenagers with all smiles on our faces.
The photographs of the exhibition were taken by the teenagers in the photography class.

THE CULINARY EXHIBITION
THE SOAP, TOILET WASH AND BLEACH MAKING EXHIBITION
THE GRAPHIC DESIGN EXHIBITION
EXHIBITION MARKET
The products made from the vocational training was sold at cheaper rates to Parents and invited guests to raise funds for the best student among others.
Many of them couldn't hide their excitement when they knew they could afford bags, shoes, soap, bleach and toilet wash at cheaper rate.
The parent who won the organized game was given a free bag and shoe as a prize.
The facilitators were also given free bags, sandals, soap, toilet wash and bleach as appreciation for their hardwork and support.
MEET THE BEST STUDENT
The overall best student was from the bag and shoe making class who made the best tote bag (name withheld on her request), she is from a poor family who lives in a poor vicinity. She walked long distance every day to the vocational training due to her determination to acquire skills to earn a living.
@steemhelpinghand gave her all the money gotten from the exhibition sales to start up a bag and shoe making business on her own, we also partnered with omoge initiative to give her 6 months scholarship on bag and shoes training.
THE LUNCH PARTY
The culinary class took over the lunch party, cakes, doughnuts and drinks were served to everyone who attended the program.
