The Prayer Chain Ministry and the Virtuous Girl Child Foundation visited some selected orphanage homes to give the children a sense of belonging by impacting on them emotionally, intellectually and spiritually.
In a statement by Oluwatoyin Adegoke, said the series of joint annual visitation, which held in Abeokuta was used to offer some materials such as food, clothing supplies, educational aid and other items to meet their physical needs.
In his remarks at the Yemisi Alogi Orphanage Home in Abeokuta, the Convener, Prayer Chain Ministry, Femi Raimi said that the efforts were aimed at giving assurance to children at the orphanage that the society would not neglect them.
He noted that the essence of the visit was in fulfilling the mandate of the ministry as a platform to offer prayers and share the love of Christ to the less privileged, particularly, orphanage homes.
His words: “When we all lend a helping hand in the community, we improve everyone’s quality of life”, goes a maxim that captures the activities of a group of people, working together to put smiles on the faces of the needy and vulnerable children.
“Helping the orphanage and the orphans will also reflect positively on you as the the helper, it will improve your self esteem and open your mind to other areas service and help you to become better citizen while also boosting your own sense of belonging.”
Also, the Founder, Virtuous Girl Child, Funmilayo Komolafe, urged corporate bodies and individuals to extend the required love, care and support to the less privileged in the society and empower them to maximize their potential.
According to Komolafe, “it is important that people should leave the comforts of their environment and reach out, they must spread love to others, especially people that do not have the means to cater for themselves.”
Responding, the Care Giver at the Yemisi Alogi Orphanage Home, Bukola Abi, expressed appreciation to the donors for the gesture, promising that more efforts would be made to impact positively on the children through the judicious use of the items.
