The Ikeja Viva L’Amour Lions Club recently visited Olowoira Primary School to donate back-to-school supplies to students. The club provided backpacks containing educational materials such as storybooks, writing materials, pencils, and pens to enhance the students' reading skills. This initiative is part of the club's efforts to supplement the efforts of parents in the 26/27 academic session. The donation aims to encourage pupils and support their learning.
Morenike Nnamdi-Nwosu, president of the Ikeja Viva L’Amour Lions Club, called on the government to prioritize children's education by providing a safe and secure environment for them to learn. She emphasized the need for the government to engage only qualified teachers who will be supported with salaries and emoluments commensurate with their efforts. This, she believes, will ensure that children receive quality education.
Rita Egbadon, the Activity Chairperson for the event, explained that the club's visit to the school was part of their community service and back-to-school literacy initiative. The club considered this activity necessary because access to basic learning materials can make a meaningful difference in a child's education. The goal was not only to provide these items but also to encourage pupils and let them know that their community cares about them.
Temitope Olasode, headmistress of Olowoira Primary School, appreciated the Ikeja Viva L’Amour Lions Club for their donation and for considering her school first in the new academic session. She prayed that their own biological children will never lack helpers like the club. The school has previously received support from the club on different occasions.
Samuel Isogol, a primary six pupil and recipient of the donations, expressed his excitement and gratitude to the club for their kindness. He felt thankful to be one of the beneficiaries and hoped that the club's efforts will inspire other organizations to support students in need. The club's initiative has made a positive impact on the students.
The Ikeja Viva L’Amour Lions Club's initiative is in line with their mission to support education and encourage children to learn. By providing educational materials and advocating for government support, the club aims to make a lasting impact on the education sector. The club's efforts will hopefully inspire other organizations to join in and support children's education.
The donation of back-to-school supplies and the club's call for government support highlight the importance of education in Nigeria. The Ikeja Viva L’Amour Lions Club's efforts demonstrate that even small initiatives can make a significant difference in the lives of students. The club's commitment to supporting education is commendable, and their efforts will likely have a lasting impact on the students and the community.
