Feedback & Keys to Success
How do you feel BAW participation benefited your organization and the local community?
The benefit of participation has been an exposure of young minds to potentials within them through the use of their brain. It has serve as an encouragement to some as they now believe no one is enough to make them feel less important in how they make decisions and they are able to practice good habits of living.
The immediate outcome was the elevation of people’s esteem of themselves.
