The packages shared by the Foundation is our own little contribution to the lives of the people during this year’s celebration. I encourage all of us to share love amongst ourselves and remember especially the indigent as we celebrate. Nothing is too small to add to the joy of others”.

We must also not forget the precautionary measures of regular hand washing, use of hand sanitizers, social distancing and the use facemasks as posited by the Presidential Task Force on Covid-19 and the Lagos State Government.
