She emphasized that the organization aims to offer care to orphans and vulnerable children through fun activities they might not typically have access to due to their circumstances.

“Our goal is to give a better understanding of what love truly means and the importance of showing compassion to one another, especially to orphans.

“We are dedicated to creating and implementing developmental and educational projects for children who are lacking in parental care and affection.

“Through this initiative, we aim to provide an atmosphere of love and communicate that, regardless of their situation, these children are cherished by humanity,” she said.

In an interview with journalists, Dr. Abimbola Olatunde, a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Ibadan, praised the organizers for their efforts.

She highlighted the initiative as commendable, especially in a time when giving back to the community is crucial.

Dr. Olatunde encouraged other well-meaning Nigerians to engage in similar gestures to extend love and support to those in need.
