TCLI has experienced great progress over the past ten years. Some of them are as follows:
Spelling Bee
The spelling bee contest began in 2012 in Jos and Bauchi states. It began with only a printed material of the words for the contest but from the second year, now includes an audio CD with the proper pronunciations of the words.
Registration as an NGO
In July 2017, TCLI completed her registration with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) as Non-Governmental Organization.
In July 2017, TCLI began to involve public schools in her spelling competitions and performed her first mock contest at a public school situated in Jos.
On August 5th, 2017, TCLI had her 5th annual Spelling Contest which took place at Korret’s Hamlet, Jos. Over 130 pupils were in attendance from both public and private schools. We had nearly two dozen volunteers and it was a huge success. Bauchi also hosted their own 5th annual spelling contest in November, 2017, with about 50 pupils in attendance.
