“Today, we donated food items, clothing, refreshments and cash. This is just the beginning as we intend to do more. We want to identify with them and share in their responsibility. We have the intention of coming back to do more.”
State Chairman Ayodele Leshaodo restated they the group is giving back to the foundation.
He said: “We are trying to encourage the younger generation and generally have a positive impact on the society, especially the upcoming young ones because they are the future of tomorrow.
“We need to have a positive impact so they don’t feel they’re on their own. There are upcoming plans and programmes of the association to help communities across the Aviary states and in the Diaspora, especially our World Peace Day which is celebrated yearly on September 21.”
Representative of the House of Mercy Children’s Home Mrs. Ndidiamaka Nwaozuzu thanked the group for the generous donation, saying “these items will go a long way to make many children feel happy and put smiles on their faces. We so much appreciate them.”
