St Genevieve’s and AJOSEPO
The St Genevieve’s school community has
been fund-raising for St Louis Sisters’
projects in Brazil, Nigeria, Ghana and Liberia
over the last 15 years. Recently the focus of
attention has shifted to 3 projects in Nigeria.
They are:
The St Louis rehabilitation and out-reach
centre for disabled children in Oka,
The building of a new St Louis Primary
School in Ondo,
The St Louis Primary Health and Maternal
Care Centre.
Six members of staff from St Genevieve’s visited the centres in 2010 to gain
an insight but also to establish a connection with the sisters and the projects.
On returning from Nigeria, a staff committee and a pupil committee was
set up with the duel purposes of focusing on fund-raising and creating a
greater awareness in the school community of the work carried out by the St
Louis Sisters and the issues and difficulties faced by communities from less
privileged backgrounds.
To capture the nature of the relationship between
the school community and the projects, the
Nigerian word AJOSEPO was adopted along with
the above logo. AJOSEPO means ‘together in
friendship and as equals’. Since then, both pupils
and staff have organised many events such as, a
night at the races, bag packs, stealth mobile shops,
crafts fares, cake sales, sponsored walks, pupil
concerts, film days, male staff leg waxing and
dance afternoons. AJOSEPO is a word in common
usage now.
