Orant Nyali Yanga Poetry Competition: Unlocking Creativity
At Orant, we believe in the power of creative expression. We believe that creative expression is a powerful tool for personal growth and development. That is why we’re excited to announce that our Nyali Yanga Poetry Competition for secondary school students in Dowa district is still open!
This competition is particularly close to our hearts because it aligns well with our commitment to support education and empower young minds. We’re passionate about providing opportunities for students to discover and nurture their skills, build their confidence, and showcase their talents.
By participating in this competition, students will not only have the chance to win exciting prizes but also unlock their hidden potential, develop their creative writing skills, build confidence in their abilities and have a chance to connect with their peers and other creative minds through the power of poetry. Students will also develop language skills since the competition is open to poems in both Chichewa and English!
Orant is committed to supporting the schools we work with in Dowa and this competition is just one way we’re working to enhance the educational experience and provide opportunities for students to shine.
So, if you’re a secondary school student in Dowa, don’t miss this chance to unlock your potential and share your voice! Submit your poem today and join the Orant community in celebrating the power of poetry.
