An Anambra philanthropist based in the United Kingdom, Mr Innocent Obiora, has distributed not fewer than 600 bags of rice to the indigent including widows and people living with disabilities in Enugwu-Agidi, Njikoka Local Government Area of the state.
The beneficiaries were seen singing songs of joy and praise of the benefactor as the gesture came on time for the Easter celebrations.
The benefactor, Mr. Obiora who was represented by Mr. Ndubuisi Obijiofor said the gesture has become a culture for him as a way to remember the less privileged in his community, especially during this period of Easter which should remind us of the need to share love and kindness with people around us.
According to him, the gesture has no political motives but intends to alleviate the sufferings of the poor especially the widows and other members of the vulnerable community of the society.
Mr Obiora further revealed plans to empower youths and petty traders to help support their businesses, especially during this period of economic downtime in the country.
Some of the beneficiaries Messrs Joy Okonkwo, Chinenye Okafor, Theresa Ikpeamanu, and Grace Onyejelu prayed for God’s continuous blessings on the benefactor and his household and thanked him for remembering them.
