Message to our volunteers

Good day Good people.

As WE move ahead with OUR never ending aspiration... ewaBAMIJO is improving from day to day, and in the past days, we've received several emails requesting for detail for volunteering. WE are resending this mail to answer such questions and for the benefit of our new members. 

As part of our strategies to achieve our objectives: We've put in place the EBJ ONE MINUTE media campaign, with notable faces like Amb. Olusegun Olusola, Prof Ahmed Yerima, Tunde Kelani, Asa, Nomoreloss and Dj jimmy jatt. This kicks off a months prior the festival, this will be proffered with a high sense of esteem and professionalism, and well broadcast nationwide, it is our own way of getting the public aware of such existence though such endorsement.

We have as well began EBJ mobilisation of a minimum of 100 volunteers to adhere to the festival as EBJ volunteers, to host the over 500 guests and participant coming from other parts of the country, as well as from outside the country. This we believe will in a way create relationships, and at the same time, give people a sense of ownership of the festival to a certain level.

So this is where we feel the need to begin a concrete relationship with our adherents on facebook, we already have few volunteers who shall be coming in from inside and outside Nigeria, and we seek more volunteers from every part of the world, and the objectives laid down for our volunteers are pretty simple.

PRE EBJ VOLUNTEERS -

*SPREAD THE WORD ON FACEBOOK
*INVITE ALL YOUR FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK TO JOIN THE GROUP
*TAG YOURSELF IN ANY OF THE EBJ PHOTOS ON THE GROUP AND USE THEM AS YOUR PROFILE PIX.
*GIVE SUGGESTIONS AND BE PART OF DISCUSSIONS ON THE GROUP.
VISIT THE GROUP AT LEAST ONCE IN A WEEK FOR UPDATES.

EBJ VOLUNTEERS - FOR THE EBJ PROPER.

AS PART OF OUR STRATEGIES OF CREATING A WHOLE NEW IMAGE OF WHO LAGOSIANS ARE TO OUR INVITED GUESTS AND WHAT LAGOS IS ALL ABOUT.

*EBJ IS PLANNING A TOUR AROUND SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND HIGHER INSTITUTIONS IN LAGOS, WE NEED VOLUNTEERS.
*WE NEED GOOD PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN LAGOS AND CAN VOLUNTEER, TO ACCOMMODATE ONE OR TWO PEOPLE COMING IN FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY OR OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD.
*WE NEED GOOD PEOPLE TO HOST OUR INVITED GUEST FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD DURING THE ENTIRE PERIOD OF THE FESTIVAL.
*WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO BE AT OUR TICKET SALES OUTLETS AROUND LAGOS.
*WE NEED USHERS AND GATE KEEPERS DURING THE INDOOR EVENTS.
*AND FINALLY WE NEED TO CREATE A FESTIVE MOOD.

BENEFIT FOR VOLUNTEERS -

WE ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF THE FACT THAT, NO AMOUNT PAID TO OUR VOLUNTEERS WILL BE ENOUGH TO SAY THANK YOU, AND AS WE ALSO INITIATE SUCH IDEA BASED ON A SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, WE CAN ONLY RECIPROCATE BY SHOWING KIND GESTURES.

*EVERY VOLUNTEER THAT TAKE PART IN MAKING THIS FIRST INTERNATIONAL EDITION OF EBJ A SUCCESS, GETS HIM OR HERSELF A FREE TICKET TO ALL INDOOR EVENTS, AN EBJ T.SHIRT, HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE FURTHER INSIGHT TO THE PERFORMING ARTS WORLD AND GETTING CLOSER TO PRACTITIONERS. FINALLY WE ARE DEDICATING THE CENTER SPREAD OF OUR MIND-BLOWING PROGRAM OF EVENT TO ALL THE NAMES OF OUR VOLUNTEERS, NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY ARE, WHICH ALSO WIN THEM A COPY EACH, AND THIS WILL BE DESIGNED IN COLLABORATION WITH SWITCHEDONNAIJA MAGAZINE.

FOR ANTICIPATING VOLUNTEERS PLEASE DROP YOUR CONTACTS AND A BRIEF OF YOU IN ykprojectsng@gmail.com or info@ewabamijo.com

LET'S THROW LIGHT ON THE CITY OF LAGOS. AND SHOW TO THE WORLD THAT THERE ARE SHORT-CUTS TO HAPPINESS.

BEST REGARDS.
