Bring Back Our Girls Campaign

Changemakers Cries Out To Boko Haram

About a month ago, the world woke up to horrifying news.  On the night of 14–15 April 2014, approximately 276 female students were kidnapped from the Government Secondary School in the town of Chibok in Borno State, Northeastern Nigeria. The kidnappings were blamed on Boko Haram, an insurgent group. The girls were about writing their WASSCE when they were taken. The response of the world thereafter was even louder.
Solutions For Life Initiative-Ghana, an NGO based in Kumasi-Ghana organized a camp for  its Changemakers Ambassadors Girls Club on the 23rd, May -26th, May, 2014.  On the final day of the camp, the girls were given a lecture on the Chibok incident.  In solidarity with their friends in Nigeria, they appealed for their soon release.

With their campaign inscription in their palms they cried out to Boko Haram and the powers that be to  “Bring Back our friends, Bring Back our Sisters, please #BringBackOurGirls#
