A QOUTE ABOUT CHILDREN

A new baby is like the beginning of all things-wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.

                                               A TOUCHING STORY

I recently did a consultancy job for UNICEF/DFID under the auspices of the Girl Child Education Project (GEP).I heard the story of a girl in one of the local government areas under my jurisdiction. She is physically challenged and could not attend school, because her parents were too poor to afford the wheelchair she needed for mobility. She would sometimes crawl a long distance (almost a kilometer)to the school, and get there long after classes had began. BUT SHE WOULD SHOW UP. Her story came to me, and after liaising with the local government chairman, her efforts yielded fruit because he bought her the much needed wheelchair. She now goes to school comfortably and is doing much better than her peers who are not challenged. My joy is that I was part of efforts to better the girl’s life.
