A none for profit organisation, Supporting the African Child Initiative, founded by Seasoned trainer, Life Coach, International Conference Speaker, Author, and Host of WAP TV’s motivational telecast, “Making Things Happen”, Lamide Adenuga, recently toured some schools in the country in a bid to touch the lives of children and give back to society.
Adenuga has been touring secondary schools, and Universities in recent times, addressing various youth groups across the country, on life and chances, making the most of their lives, adding value the society, believing in themselves, and to never stop running towards their dreams.
Hear him: “In line with our mission which is supporting the African child in all ways, we have prioritise our effort in the following four areas…

1. Education.
2. Portable Water.
3. Good Health Care and
4. Social Welfare.

Narrating his recent efforts, Adenuga said: “We went to Abiola Jacobs, a basic school in Foko Area, Oke-Ado, Ibadan, Oyo State, and we spoke to the pupils and gave them gifts of school bags and small water bottles. In all, we gave out 85 bags (branded Supporting the African Child), and 50 water bottles.

“The children were so happy, the teachers were happy, and we expect that when the children get home, their parents too will be happy.”

Describing what it is like to be involved in giving helping hands to the needy, Adenuga said that he is motivated by the lives of certain great men like Goethe, and that informs how he views children

“I look at this wonderful children with the eyes of Goethe who said; ‘look at a man the way that he is and he only becomes worse, but look at him as if he were what he could be, then he becomes what he should be’. I see good and greatness in all these children.”

He also has a word of advice for as many that are are still looking forward to reaching out to the needy, saying “Touch a life for good and do the little you can at all times; you don’t have to wait till you can do it big.

“Supporting the African Child is here to stay, we will do more by God’s Grace. Like our Page, and tell somebody about what we do. This way, we will ignite more minds to do good, and support the less privileged.”

Mr. Adenuga is interested in visiting more schools to unleash the power of support and giving, and therefore, calls on the general public to make contact if they have schools that require urgent attention and visitation.

“I believe every Child deserves a decent shot at life,” Adenuga concluded.
