After being asked what skill she would like to learn, Eniola said she preferred catering and baking. Showunmi's foundation received help from good Samaritans and Eniola was enrolled in a catering centre.
Showunmi said:
"I took her to a catering center not too far from her school. The chief baker was elated to see a student coming to learn."
According to the young man, the chief baker at the catering centre gave them 46.1% discount because she is a widow that loves empowering children.
She has been enrolled for two years and will be finishing her secondary school education alongside her skill acquisition training.
In Showunmi's words:
"The next day, I went to check up on her. The chief baker told me Eniola resumed 7am and that she really likes her attitude towards learning."
