“Wow! Many congratulations to the teens for their effort, enthusiasm and hard work with Africa Awareness Teen Writing Competition 2025. Afrikindness Education Team Judges were impressed with the depth of research shown in the essays, making the selection process quite challenging. However, 5 essays stood out for us particularly. These essays not only met all the Judging criteria in a very comprehensive manner, but they also showed excellent levels of research, precision, concision (no waffling!), reflection and impact.”
