Obudu Great Friends Klub Donate To The Homeless in Calabar

by crossriverwatch admin

Rev. Sis. Ivon Maria Nwankwo, Director in charge of the Catholic Archdiocese of Calabar Infant Jesus Orphanage has commended the members of Obudu Great Friends Klub Calabar for their visit to the home recently.

She said, “I am delighted for your kind visit, just as you’ve come that’s how others come and it’s by these and other ways we survive”. Maintaining that their greatest challenge is that of accommodation, “Which we commend people like you for coming because as a result of regular support from good spirited individuals like you we’ve been able to start a little building project”. She appealed to other groups and individual to emulate the steps of the club.

Earlier, the President of the club, Mr. John Ukwu Agwupuye while exchanging pleasantries with the Sisters at the home noted that “Our coming here today is to encourage you to continue in the good work you’re doing, we want to identify with you by giving the little we can as an act of love, care and shore up”.

Mr. Ukwu noted that “it is not what you bring that matters but with the heart you give which is why the little time spent with them is like a mantra to keep the children going on in life facing it with boldness because the worst that can befall a man is when you have no home, parents and loved ones of the same blood around you which has a lot of detrimental effect”.
