Warm greetings of peace, love and goodwill reaching you from the T.A.L.K side of town. July was no doubt a great month capturing heart melting moments and dawning a whole lot of unprecedented realities. Stay put, let’s walk through it.
Events
The month began on a positive footing by kick starting enrolment for the much-anticipated T.A.L.K.T.E.C.H, our empowerment initiative aimed at equipping people with relevant tech skills.
In July, prior to the suspension of certain T.A.L.K recognition elements, including the T.A.L.K Box and T.A.L.K Badge, there was a notable increase in the number of beneficiaries for the T.A.L.K Box program, rising from the usual one nominee to three.
AWO JUDE UDANYI [Judex Chopa], the T.A.L.K personality recognized before the program’s suspension, received an appreciation of $67 in addition to the standard 30,000 naira. This gesture was intended to help him address some urgent personal matters.
In keeping with TLI‘s commitment to kindness, Rita Avadoo Chembe was also a recipient of our Random Act of Kindness program.
Overall, the shift from 10 to 30 weekly engagers demonstrates TLI‘s adaptability and desire to maintain a culture of recognition and commitment to kindness, even in the face of program changes.
Japhet Aze, a member of the TLI community, recently demonstrated kindness and the importance of sharing by sponsoring an airtime giveaway for 20 people. This act is commendable and worthy of emulation by others in the community. This is to reiterate the stance that, everyone and anyone is capable of acting kindly.
In this same month of July, Torch of Liberty Initiative had the privilege of assisting Makyla John with her medical bill in the tune of fifty thousand naira [N50 000] only.
We all must learn to act when humanity calls, for truly, one another is all we have.
Call to Action
Angih Wuese Patience brought to our attention the attempts by amateur scammers to disguise themselves as TLI representatives and defraud unsuspecting members of the community. In recognition of her vigilance, Angih was kindly appreciated for her efforts. This incident serves as a wake-up call for the TLI community to embrace the T.A.L.KT.E.C.H initiative and learn how to safely navigate cyberspace, despite the presence of scammers. The T.A.L.K T.E.C.H initiative aims to educate and empower community members with the necessary skills and knowledge to identify and avoid online scams.
It is important to regularly visit the TLI website to witness the various acts of kindness being demonstrated by humans all over the world. Each of us has the potential to show more kindness than we might realize. All we need is a source of inspiration, and our T.A.L.K Blog is specifically curated to provide that and much more.
We greatly appreciate your commitment and loyalty as a reader. We encourage you to stay the course and continue on the path of kindness. We look forward to reconnecting with you again next month. As August unfolds and treats you with grace, remember to always Try A Little Kindness (T.A.L.K). Small acts of kindness, when multiplied, can create far reaching impact on individuals, communities, and the world at large. Keep an eye out for opportunities to spread positivity, keep
