Read the entire story in this thread 👇

1/n

A friend and a fitness coach (Pamela) shared how a woman was going to be sent out of their house because she owed 2 years' rent and couldn't afford to pay. Her husband has a stroke, and she had to pause her business because all her money went to the running of the house.

2/n

The rent for 2 years was N300,000. Her last child, Chidera, couldn't go to school because of tuition. Thankfully, Pamela raised funds through friends & family to pay the woman's rent, money to continue her business and foodstuff for the house.

God bless Pamela for doing this🙏

If you’re coming across my post for the first time, you will know I’m an advocate for Education! I don't joke with it. I couldn't just contribute to the rent and move on like a child wasn't being deprived of his fundamental human right - “Education.”

I decided to take it upon myself to sponsor Chidera through secondary school (JSS1 to SS3). I told Pamela that since I wasn't around, she would handle the payments and everything he needed for school.

In less than a week after I paid, everything Chidera needed for school was ready. Pamela had to have conversations with him about what I wanted him to do for me.

I asked for one request - “Pass your Junior WAEC.” She made this video and sent it to me 👇

Chidera started school with his siblings a few weeks ago. I was thankful that at least I’ve relieved his parents from the burden of sending him to school.

PS: I also wondered why he wasn't smiling. Lol!

You raise generations by training a child in school! Education is important. No child should be deprived of education because of money or societal issues.

Join me as I create awareness of the importance of Education.
