In partnership with one of our partners, the Catherine Onwuzurike Foundation, Germany and with the support of Villa Kunterbunt Velmede Germany, Montekita Bestwig Germany and Rapido Foods Nig. Ltd, we visited St. Francis Community School, Dikenaofeiyi Community, Isiala Mbano LGA in Imo State on November 05, 2014 where we put smiles on the faces of over 300 school children.
At the event, we distributed books and writing materials to the primary school pupils as well as fed them with fibi sausage rolls from Rapido Foods Nig. Ltd.
We were received by the Traditional Ruler of the Community, who was represented by his Town Union President General. In attendance were the Head Teacher and all the teachers in the school.
Our Back to School Program continues in another community school soon. We need your support to be able to continue this project. Use the donate button now or email us at afrydef@yahoo.com.
