It went down last Saturday. It REALLY went down.
The charitable event I made mention of earlier took place on the 23rd of February, 2013. About 17 of us, bravely, traveled down to a little community in Ikota, to spread some 'Valentine' cheer (that's right! Show love anyways...just because).
It was comforting to give, however a bit saddening that people live in such bad conditions. Poverty isn't only the lack of; it is also the selfish act of not wanting to share what should conveniently go round. Simply put: Scarcity Mentality.
Bottom line is, I'm just glad a number of us were about to give back to our community. A community which was in a way part of our upbringing.
I won't bore you too much with words. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
Welcome to your virtual presence at the Ikota Outreach.
And then,
If you'll like to be a part of this movement, either by volunteering your time or making any form of donations, we will be more than happy to welcome and accommodate you.

Thank you (in advance).

| What each bag-pack contained |
 |
| Van-full of good tidings |
 |
| The distribution commences |
 |
| Some excited residents |
 |
| The children's line |
 |
| The women/ mother's line just kept growing and growing |
 |
| We paused for a while to re-strategize, because we knew the bags wouldn't go round |
 |
| Then we came up with the idea of emptying the school bags so everyone in line had a bit of something |
