In a bid to excite the female segment of the Nigerian market,
handlers of Always, from the stable of Procter & Gamble, recently
joined forces with international tennis stars, Serena and Venus
Williams, to empower and inspire girls at the Government College, Ikoyi,
Lagos.
To many, Serena and Venus are perfectly placed to boost
the morale of the girls. Their life story showcases passion,
determination, hard work and self-belief that has triumphed over
obstacles and circumstances to become world champions on and off the
tennis court.
Commenting on the Williams sisters' visit,
Temitope Iluyemi from Always said, "The Williams sisters being here
today has empowered more girls to break the moulds that have stood
between them and their potential; they surely now dream bigger and
strive harder as a result. Their support of our puberty education
programme is another way to help give these girls the confidence to
enjoy womanhood without limits."
"The programme is designed to
empower girls to live life to their fullest. 800,000 Nigerian girls take
part every year and 8 million have benefited so far since inception 12
years ago", Iluyemi added.
The Williams sisters were greeted
with warmth and enthusiasm by the girls as they entered the class.
Serena shared her stories on their setbacks and how she had overcome
them to return to the peak of her game.
"Luck has nothing to do
with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the
court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would
come". Meanwhile Venus talked about the importance of self-belief: "Some
people say I have an attitude, maybe I do,We have a wide selection of dry cabinet to choose from for your storage needs.Handmade oil paintings for sale for sale at museum quality, but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does.Buy Crystal tile online, That makes you a winner right there."
Commenting
on the importance of sisterhood in facing challenges, Serena mentioned
how supportive her sister had been through the years helping her cope
with a variety of challenges both on the field and in life. Venus then
said: "I always like to win. But I'm the big sister. I want to make sure
she has everything, even if I don't have anything. It's hard. I love
her too much. That's what counts.A new Lamp shade is a quick and easy way to bring a fresh look to your home."
The
girls from Government College, Ikoyi went on to perform the Always Song
'Little Big Steps' with the Williams sisters even joining in singing
and dancing. There was also a session where the sisters responded to
questions from the girls. These gave the girls the rare opportunity of
interacting with the William sisters.
