Episode notes
Part One focuses on how WINGS started and why the team chose to work with girls in IDP camps.
Tomi, Wadi, and Olumide discuss their personal experiences growing up, the connection to the stories of these girls and women, and the desire they felt to effect change. They also discuss how years of volunteering eventually evolved into what WINGS is today.
You will hear:
– The experiences that shaped their “why”
– How their friendship became a foundation for the work
– Their first interactions with the camp
– Why they decided to focus on girls specifically
Part One is the beginning. Part Two takes you into the actual program and what the girls are learning, so stay tuned.
