Summit For Readers And Creative Writers

Two years ago, there was a need to start a movement that would propel students and youths into the fifth wall of academic excellence and intellectualism. This was prompted by the mediocre state of living been exhibited by some young people and their apathy toward reading and the art of learning in general. Thus, the inspiration to Introduce a unique concept where young people will not only be encouraged to read to gain knowledge but they will also be taught the practical ways of becoming very useful with the information garnered through reading books and intensive studying habit was formed.

This concept goes further to advocate that every young person has a hidden potential in them that when used will make our world a better place to be.
