A Non-Governmental Organisation, The Evergreen G6 Club has donated food items worth N300,000 to Rachel’s Home for the Orphans and Vulnerable Children in Kurudu, Abuja.
This was made known by the president of the club, Mr Bamidele Olujobi, while in a chat with the press in Abuja on Sunday.
Olujobi who was represented by the Secretary of the club, Mr Philip Akpa, stated that the food items donated to the orphanage home included bags of rice, cartons of noodles and spaghetti.
Others include yams, toiletries, bags of salt, kegs of groundnut oil, palm oil, bags of beans and beverages.
Olujobi noted that the needs of the vulnerable and orphans should not be left to only the governments and the owners of the organisations.
He said that the club’s donation through its members was a result of God’s blessing.
In his words, “Some of these homes like Rachel’s Home for Orphans and Vulnerable Children provided the opportunity for us to give back to the needy and the vulnerable in society.
“Particularly this period every member of this club, who is a Christian, is celebrating the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ which is Easter and this is the period, where every child will need a touch of a parent and need for somebody to celebrate with them.”
News Agency of Nigeria gathered that the club’s way of celebrating Easter was to identify with the orphanage.
He explained that the club has also seen scholarships for several vulnerable and indigent students up to the university level, adding that eight students were recently registered for WAEC and NECO exams by the organisation.
Others who have benefitted from the club’s generosity include Old Peoples Home in Kardo, FCT and Apo Mechanic Village as well as the orphanage home in Masaka in the Nasarawa State.
