They thing nobody can see what they are doing in other countries, and it just plain wrong. Just a small return from profits to the area concerned could solve the population’s problems. Instead, they, and the news, portray the population as dangerous rebels.

Students organized the production of the cupcakes and the sale while educating their customers about the importance of the Niger Delta and the efforts of the women there to change things. OIL SPILL cupcakes (chocolate with chocolate frosting) and CLEAN UP cupcakes (vanilla with vanilla frosting) served the perfect opportunities for discussion! BAKING THEIR WAY TO LEADERSHIP! What a terrific way to merge leadership, entrepreneurship and action...with global issues! It was a huge success and we can't wait for the next sale.
