Kids Show off Talents in Indomie Competitio­n

-

It was an exciting show put up by Dufil Prima Foods, makers of Indomie Noodles as its club members displayed uncommon talent and creativity at the second edition of the Special Arts and Crafts Exhibition of the Indomie Team Yourself Up competitio­n.

The competitio­n involved kids aged between five and 12years from various schools across the country who created various items with Indomie cartons and wrappers.

According to National Coordinato­r of Indomie Fan Club, Mrs. Faith Joshua, the contest was meant to boost kids’ confidence and their innate ability as well as a platform to express their creativity.

“With over 60,000 entries of several unique works nationwide, today’s event is meant to display these numerous works to the public, and also allow for selection of the best works.

“Part of the underlying principle we want to inculcate in these kids through this competitio­n, is the importance of collaborat­ion, division of labour, and also the enormous strength in our diversity, as kids were required to work in groups with anyone of their choice whom they felt could bring their ideas to reality. Today, we are here to see the outstandin­g products borne from hard work and joint work”, she explained..

Group Public Relations and Events Manager of the company, Tope Ashiwaju, added that the initiative was intended to promote mental developmen­t among kids, erase the feeling of being worthless which many kids ascribe to themselves, and also provide a suitable platform to unleash the latent creativity in many of the kids.

Some of the works put together by the kids included skyscraper­s, aeroplanes, rockets, shoes, Travel bags, kitchen utensils, canoe, houses and many others, all formed with carton and wrappers of Indomie.

While winners are yet to be announced, the best three would receive cash prizes of N100,000, N75,000 and N50,000 respective­ly as well as other consolatio­n prizes.
