Go home and love your family.”  Mother Theresa BACKGROUND Family time is an essential factor that helps to create strong bonds, love, connections, and relationship among the family members. Spending quality time with family does help in coping with challenges, instilling a feeling of security, inculcating family values and filling kids with confidence.  Unfortunately, we have subconsciously given to habits that diminish connection and loosen strong bonds in the family. We could attribute this to technology and how fast the world is evolving. However, a better approach will be to keep up, while using these tools and other means to strengthen these bonds for “Family is not an important thing. It’s everything.” – Michael J. Fox Every family member has a role to play in the way of bein...

  PEARL CLUB CREATIVITY CONTEST 2021 Theme: Defense of Human Dignity- All Men as Brothers “I hope that people will finally come to realize that there is only one ‘race’ – the human race – and that we are all members of it.” – Margaret Atwood Click here to register BACKGROUND Humanity has come so far with its advancements in science and technology, turning our once too vast to comprehend world, into a network of interconnected data, a global village as it is called. Humanity has remained the same with a deluge of war, strife, discord in nearly all parts of the earth, together with outbreaks of diseases but with newer names, with generations making nearly the same decisions with similar outcomes as preceding ones. In all of these, one might be faced with the constant inclination to write humanity off as a lost cause as we drown in a wellspring of varying emotions. Those of fear of the unknown, worry over a loved one living in a city of unrest, dissatisfaction over decisions not ...

bit.ly/pearlspellingbee BACKGROUND AND AIM Life is becoming a fast moving train and as individuals we tend to follow the disturbing pace. We unconsciously bury the salient principle of "a step at a time" and its undefeated ability to take us on an adventurous ride to our destined location.  Fortunately, man has been blessed with one of the greatest gifts, reading. Reading is one way in which we not only gather information, but also teach ourselves how to slow down.  When we  slow down, we notice, and when we notice, we listen. When we listen, we practice sustained attention that gives us an upper hand in life. In a bid to foster reading culture, The Pearl Club of Uzommiri Study Centre is organizing a spelling bee which will entail not just memorizing a list of words but reading for meaning.  The aim of this spelling bee is to expose girls to the adventurous world of books and remind them how fun reading can be. . The benefits of reading to an individual cann...

I do not want it to end yet…” _Camper, PVVC 2020 The PVVC Experience On August 1, 2020, Pearl Virtual Vacation Camp, the first-ever virtual summer camp organized by the Pearl Club, kicked off with over 40 campers, girls between ages 8 and 16, from across Nigeria, from Canada, England, and the USA. Planning the camp at a time like this, the time of an ongoing pandemic, was, one of the coordinators says, exciting and required a good measure of improvisation: "planning PVVC 2020 was exciting, I was part of a team of wonderful and diligent ladies. I'm grateful for all the pushes I got from my team members, really, and I thoroughly enjoyed all the seminars and get-togethers organized for us coordinators. I had a swell time with my tutees: some of them; I got moved by their innocence, simplicity, utter bluntness, and inquisitiveness. Oh! We got a lot of unexpected questions, *laughing*, questions you...
