Children all over Nigeria will be helped to build good values in a fun and interactive way courtesy of Ribena which has initiated a life-impacting partnership with Bridges To Goodness Projects called “Ribena Bridges To Goodness School Project” aimed at entrenching good values and healthy living among young people in schools across Nigeria.
Ribena Bridges To Goodness School Project – Impacting Good Values In Children
Our society hands out prizes for football, athletics, math, science, etc., except for good values and character. Ribena Good Values Awards identifies and spotlights deserving students who really make a difference, who go beyond the compulsory or convenient to help others overcome obstacles and live with integrity.
The goal of Ribena Good Values Awards is to identify, develop, spotlight, and ultimately build deserving students (honoree’s) who really make a difference, who go beyond the compulsory or convenient to help others overcome obstacles and live with integrity.
At no cost to your school, we invite you to participate in the 2017 Intra-School “Ribena Good Values Contest / Awards” for your student where Nominees (finalists) will be competing for the Honourees Awards. All Honourees will be celebrated at a special school assembly on the winner’s platform as Ambassadors of Character and invited to the grand finale 2017 Ribena Children’s Day for Good Values on May 27th, 2017.
Participation is on the first-come-first-served basis and only the first 500 schools that registers for the contest/award either on our website or in person will be eligible to participate. The intra-school contest shall be accompanied by an introductory “Good Values Education Program” that will be integrated into the contests and awards activities.
Participation for schools is free of charge. Open to private and public primary and secondary schools in Lagos State and beyond. Registration forms and details of the contest/awards guidelines are available for download by clicking the button below.
The RIBENA BRIDGES TO GOODNESS SCHOOL PROJECT was flagged off on April 4th, 2017 with a mandate to bring Good Values Education Program to public and private schools in Nigeria. The Ribena Bridges to Goodness School Partnership will help young people learn to make better life choices and lead value-driven lives that would mould them into better citizens in future, better leaders, and responsible and productive citizens. Parents, guardians, and schools are encouraged to watch this space. Participate when the Ribena train comes to their school and continue in this laudable effort to raise better leaders for a better Nigeria tomorrow.
Ribena, kids No 1 nutritional fruit drink from the stable of Suntory Beverage and Foods Nigeria Ltd is a unique melding of goodness and fun that families and kids have consumed across generations. It is the goodness of natural blackcurrant berries and joyous moments of purple tongue fun that kids love to drink, anytime, anywhere.
Ribena believes that goodness takes hold when it is made fun and interesting. Ribena believes that GOOD VALUES can be imbibed better when they are made engaging and connect with the hearts and minds of the children.
The Ribena Good Values Awards are the only national awards given to young people solely for strength of character. They are not to be given for isolated acts of heroism or generosity, although such acts may rightly call attention to a nominee. Nor are they to be given simply for high grades, selection for leadership posts, excellence in athletics or the arts, or any combination thereof. Rather, the Ribena Children for Good Values Awards are designed to honour young people (regardless of their family background, race, culture, financial status, I.Q. or physical condition) whose lives and achievements demonstrate an enduring commitment to qualities associated with Good Character. Those selected should be undeniable role models for their generation.
