The programme ‘Let the Orphans Be Glad’ is one of the lined up events to show love to the fatherless this season of love.
The programme which took place at the Oba Adesanoye Civic Centre witnessed orphans gather in numbers to receive gifts from the legislator and his wife Dr. Rhoda Makinde.
Hon. Abiola Makinde in his speech said “This project is a joint initiative of both myself and my wife Dr. Rhoda Makinde, the founder of DROMI, it is a genuine drive to reach out to the orphans in our community and to also give back to the community in our own little capacity”.
Also, the wife Dr. Rhoda Makinde said “This is part of those things we do to give back to the community. Orphans are humans too, they should be fully taken care of. Loosing their parents is not their fault…”
The orphans were also engaged in dancing competitions, raffle draws and other games attracting bicycles, food items and cash prizes.
