According to her, she would have come with her team on the 14th of February being Valentine day but due to the insecurity in the area, they chose to come later.
It would be recalled that in a similar gesture, the foundation had on December 24, 2019 visited the special school with team of volunteers and threw a lavish Christmas party for the children at the Special Education Center.
Speaking further, she said”,we usually celebrate the children with music, dance, food and other delicacies, but today we did it differently due to COVID-19″.
She implored those in power in Imo State not to turn their backs on the children, adding that there are many other places like the Orlu school in Imo State that call for the attention of the state government.
