" This is not my first time reaching out to Ophanage home centers, I have planned to make it a yearly event to ensure that I contribute my quota towards improving their conditions.
" What motivated me to donate this Sienna Bus to the Orphanage is that when I entered there for visitation, saw keke carrying those children back from school then I remembered that I have one brand new Sienna Bus which I wanted to give to someone but unfortunately my spirit directed me to help this children through this car you are seeing here.
" I was told that even in the rain, is very difficult for them to go to school because keke that use to Carry them might not come on time or may not come at all " he said.
