The Ambassadors, having gone through the free five (5) months compulsory course of ISERH Undegraduate Studies and belonging to any of the classes (1, 2 and 3) held so far, demonstrated a degree of knowledge and exhibited that the spirit of humanity embedded in them is awaken. It is however an understatement to say that the Ambassadors are now more knowledgeable about the essence of human existence, leadership, entrepreneurship, and peaceful coexistence.
During their meeting, the Ambassadors agreed to pilot a landmark project in the city of Ibadan, Oyo State Nigeria, having observed that Government Secondary Schools and Orphanages Homes lack basic needs ranges from materials to adequate orientation and psychosocial supports.
