A non-governmental organisation (NGO), Red Gape Foundation, has donated books to students of Dele Alake primary school in Ejigbo as part of effort to support the pupils in their academic pursuit.

 

The Headmistress, teachers and students who received the items from the  Foundation were full of joy, saying it was the first time such a gesture would be extended to the school from a private organisation.

According to the founder of the Foundation, Hon. Habeeb Anibaba, the purpose of the free distribution of books is to enable the children to pay more attention to their studies.

 

He said: “It is part of our support for public primary schools. We just want to help in whatever way we can to encourage our children to go to school. We will also do the same at Bola Tinubu Primary School in Ejigbo.”

Appreciating the gesture, the Headmistress, Mrs. Ezebe J. N., said the organisation has given the school most valuable gifts, saying the school community needs such to encourage the students.

 

She said the organisation has equally supported the parents with the materials as many pupils whose parents could not afford the books at this period would be relieved.

 

“We are grateful to the founder of Red Grape Foundation, Hon. Habeeb Anibaba for providing these materials for the pupils in this hard time. We pray that God will reward him a thousand fold. Wherever he brings this money out to remember this children, God will bless him and the God of children that brings blessings will also double his blessings for him in Jesus name,” she prayed.
