has been a beacon of hope to the less privileged in our society since 2009.
We are very honoured to unveil the 2015 edition of HRF Donates which is a massive charity
programme aimed at reaching out to the neglected section of the society. The great physician
and missionary, Sir Wilfred T. Grenfell once said: “The service we render to others is really the
rent we pay for our room on this earth. It is obvious that man is himself a traveler; that the
purpose of this world is not ‘to have and to hold’ but ‘to give and to serve’. There can be no
other meaning.”
This year’s edition will be held in honour of our highly distinguished member, Architect
Ologunde Busayo Adepeju (OBA) who passed on to glory in a fatal accident on March 7, 2015.
It’s being done to immortalize this young and passionate lady whose lifelong goal was to cater
for the neglected and less privileged in the society.
The 2-day programme has been scheduled to take place on May 1st and 2nd. On day one, we
shall be reaching out to the members of Ologun ebi and Idi araba villages in Iwo Local
Government Area of Osun State. On day two, we shall move to Covenant Orphanage and
Welfare Centre, Moro, Ife Central Local Government Area of the state.
“I have never met my parents. I grew up here and life has not been easy at all. But, things are
more difficult because we have been neglected by the society and the future seems to be very
hopeless and scary. Is it a crime to be born this way? Please help appeal to people out there to
remember and assist us too. We are not animals, God created us as human beings”, one of the
children said.
This is therefore to inform all Nigerians within and outside the country to join us in saving lives
by partnering with us, donating materials as well as cash to assist this set of people. It’s our
belief that “the moment we cease to care for one another is the day humanity comes to an
end.”
According to the Chief Facilitator of the project, Miss Oladiran Busayo, there will be general
medical check-up, Health education on personal hygiene and healthy lifestyle, orientation on
the New Nigeria Project and donation of beverages, other consumables, clothes, and some
farm implements to the villagers. For the charity home she said: "We have plans of sewing
beautiful Ankara clothes for the children in the charity home, have a party with them and
refurbish some parts of their home depending on how much Nigerians are willing to help us in
making this work out as planned”.
She continued: "No one prays to be in the position of those children. For those of us who have
parents, guardians and friends around, we are just privileged; it’s all by the grace of God. And
that’s why we all need to assist them in one way or the other so that we can put smile on their
faces. The real essence of living is to impact positively on other lives. No form of support is
small; just do something within your capacity. Thanks”
