Zuriel Oduwole as pictured is a young Nigerian girl, 11 years of age who is Africa's child ambassador , She is making the global case for educating the continents Girl Child and in the process, re-branding Africa.
She was recently appointed an ambassador by Tanzania's First Lady, Mama Salma Kikwete, as she visited the country lasty week, Tanzania being the second country to visit on her East African tour to launch the program Dream Up, Speak Up, Stand Up project aimed at inspiring/encouraging African girls.
On October 11th while in Dar Es Salaam she attended the United Nations UNFPA event which focused on reducing the incidence of child marriage in Tanzania.
She later was formally invited to the office of the first lady Mrs Salma Kikwete, where the first lady commended Zuriel for her leadership at such a young age, she also commended her for bringing issues of girl's education to several African leaders, then the first lady formally appointed Zuriel an ambassador for the largest foundation focused on gender issue - Wanawake na Maendeleo Foundation (WAMA) of which she's the founding patron.
Zuriel was presented with an intricate 3 foot statue of unity, the same type presented to the US president, to symbolize the effect of Zuriel's in the lives of Africa's young women.
Am amazed by such a young girl with a big mind!!!
She actually inspired me and how i pray for the young generation to be like her........
