The Isoko Development Union (IDU)
Women's Wing ,the umbrella body and mouth piece of Isoko ethnic nationality has
recently donated food items such as rice, noodles, yams, detergents, groundnut
oil etc. to Aruka Peace Foundation International Orphanage Home and Gilgal
Revolutionary Centre Orphanage Home respectively.
Apart from the IDU Women's Wing
Asaba branch who some time ago donated various items to orphanage homes and
Mosquito Nets to Central Hospital Isoko South and North respectively and this
newly elected excos led by Mrs. Felicia Suleiman who have reach out to the less
privilege, the Amb.Caroline Usikpedo led former excos did nothing rather than
to show rascality and lack of respect to constituted authority.
Speaking during the event, the
president of the IDU Women's Mrs. Felicia Suleiman said that, the idea of
visiting orphanage homes is because we are mothers, we thought it wise to start
with the less privilege children's in our society, noting that, they want to
show the love mothers like them have for children.
Mrs. Suleiman also said that, the
future of tomorrow belong to the children's, noting that, if they don't lay good
foundation for them what will become their future, among them the future
leaders of this country and future wife of president's and
governor's.
She however promise that, the
exercise of visiting orphanage homes will be a continuous one, urging other mothers
in our society not to put outside children who are orphans in the society.
"Be a mother to them not only your biological children are your children
stretched hand of towards them because you don't know what they will become
tomorrow”
She also commended the effort of the
founders of both Aruka Peace Foundation International Orphanage Homes and
Gilgal Revolutionary Orphanage Homes, noting that, some founders of ministry
don't even remember children's, but you people thought it wise not to allow
this children's destiny to waste.
Meanwhile the proprietress of Aruka
Peace Foundation International Orphanage Home Rev.Mrs.Aruka Peace Agbaka said
that, she so excited that this wonderful women's of IDU sent by God came to
lift her hands, saying that, anytime they felt what are going to eat today, God
is always there and from nowhere somebody will come and provide for them.
She therefore enjoined other women's
group to emulate the kind gesture of the IDU Women's Wing so that together they
can put smiles on the faces of the children.
On his part the Founder of Gilgal
Revolutionary Centre, Prophet Great Abraham also said that, he is elated, that
this kind of gesture is a relief to them.
When asked what brought about the
idea of setting up the orphanage home, he pointed out that, the idea is what
the Lord commanded is not actually what I wanted to do, God spoke to me, this
is what you must do. And God has been our strength, his grace is sufficient for
us.
Prophet Abraham also hinted that,
the orphanage home has been facing numerous challenges especially in the area
of their academics, presently you go to their classroom, the place is conducive
for them to learn, noting that, if they can see some people who can
support in this aspect we will be very happy.
He also said that, the children's of
the orphanage home are doing well academically, that about 15 of them are in
the higher institution of learning, saying that, the orphanage home has been
getting support from individuals who are government, for instance, the governor's
wife Dame Mrs. Okowa, she has been wonderful, each time she has something to do
with the orphans, she always reach out to us, also the local government
chairman Hon. Constantine Itiako Ikpokpo he has also been assisting us.
