Should you wait till you have more money, more time and more resources before working on the changes you want to see in the world? Should you start working on the changes you want to see in yourself and the world around you right now with the money, time and resources you have?
When "the future" arrives, it's going to be the new "now" and you will have to make that exact choice between the working in the new now (the present's future) and the new future (future's
future).
At Wakose, we believe in working now while keeping our eye on the future. We know the future is just another version of the present, but we work now to make sure that in that future version of the present, we will have more time and resources to tackle bigger challenges. We believe in getting things done using all the tools available to us.
A big problem we see in Nigeria is that for sometimes valid reasons, we care so much about very few people. We make great sacrifices for our family and close friends but treat most people outside that circle as if they do not exist. We unfortunately can no longer afford this attitude in Nigeria because it's part of what contributes to the lack of a community spirit and serves as a justification for societal ills like corruption.
We at Wakose consciously try to infuse a sense of communal engagement into a program and
encourage all participants to spread that communal spirit around. We are a culture that embraces sharing (of one's self and one's resources), partnerships (leveraging unique strengths for a bigger impact) and a pursuit of greatness (equip yourself to live the life only you can live).
