Organisation takes relief to Ajegunle residents

The yuletide is the season when people learn to show love as part of activities to celebrate the significance of the period. And from late December till January ending in the New Year, many programmes are put in place by various bodies and individuals to put a smile on the face of others.

In the spirit of the season and as part of its effort of giving and showing love, Heart2feed has led the field in terms of showing love and giving, not only to people they know but also the vulnerable people who are the focus of the project

Currently in its third year, Heart2Feed has become a recognized annual tradition for both the organisers and beneficiaries; who all look forward to the event with joy.

Anytime the Heart2Feed train arrives, the people of the community know that it is time for a family fiesta as activities to entertain various age groups especially the young ones are put in place.

The recent event tagged ‘Ajegunle Charity Food Drive’ was in a class of its own as both the old and the young trooped out to participate in the festivities and enjoy the love offering packaged by the Heart2feed organization, a non-profit charity organisation that focuses on making people smile and meeting the needs of the underprivileged

The recent drive by Heart2feed focused on putting smiles on the faces of over 800 children of Ajegunle community by feeding them. In addition to this, the organisation provided free eye tests and free glasses to about 200 children. The bleak economic situation in the country was no hindrance for Heart2Feed to show love to the beautiful children of Ajegunle, in the spirit of love and sharing.

The event, which took place at Caro Favoured College, in the heart of Ajegunle, had the little children of different age groups troop in with joy to share in the goodness of the season.

It was all shades of fun for the kids as their peers with energetic cultural dance steps entertained them. The children were filled with appreciation as they thronged round the organisers taking pictures and getting entertained.

Heart2Feed is an initiative of Otres Restaurant, with support from ’êth Communications, SME 100 Nigeria, Bukka Hut, Dreams from the Slum, CookPad, Grubs Magazine, Lolly Kitchen Affairs, Seguro Limited, Sozo Life Foundation, The Tribe Lagos, Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh Health Trust, Eko Café, MasterCare International School, My Passion My Life Media, SALT Lagos, Beyond Taste Catering.

The environment was lit as the people got fed while they also attended to their medical needs free of charge and were enthusiastic in their call for such programmes to be brought to their community as many time as possible.

And for the organisations, being able to add value to peoples’ lives is a thing of joy as they have vowed that this wi8lol not5 be the last as they intend to enlarge the coast of the project and make it bigger and more encompassing.
