The Old Boys Association (Alumni Class of 2001), Christ The King College (CKC), Gwagwalada Abuja, has donated food items and toiletries to City of Refuge Orphanage to cushion their burden and needs.
Mr Martin Abanobi, the President of the association, while donating the items on Sunday, said the gesture is an annual charity visit to support the less privileged.
Abanobi said it was the group’s way of showing its social responsibilities to the indigent in the society.
According to him, the association, which came into existence in 2010, has charity work as one of it’s mandate to give back to the society to help vulnerable individuals.
He added that the association also aimed at complementing government efforts at bringing succour to the needy in line with national development.
He said: “It is our little way of partnering with the less privileged in the society having recognised the need for us to assist those who are in need of our support.
“This is a clever way of sending message to members of the public that all of us have to be our brothers’ keeper.”
Receiving the items, Mrs Kara Kureh, the Coordinator of the Orphanage, thanked the association for the support and promised that the items would be used to carter for the children.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that noodles, cartons of minerals, toiletries, beverages and cash donations were formally presented to the orphanage. (NAN)
