When Yinka Adewoye Took Her Generosity to High Level
“We make a Living by what we get, we make a life by what we give. Together, let’s continue to make impacts and touch lives positively.” -Winston S. Churchill.
This timeless quote by the former British prime minister has been the driving force behind the convener of LawrenceGrace Foundation, a non-governmental organisation, Mrs Yinka Adewoye.
The stylish woman is living up to her belief that regardless of where you are in life, there is something that you can offer, and that you mustn’t wait to be rich to be able to save the world. For her, the act of generosity must first start from our willingness to develop a kind spirit.
A few weeks ago, through her foundation, Adewoye took her generosity to another level when she visited some schools in the Ikosi area of Lagos State, where she empowered over 200 children in an event tagged, ‘Day out with Ikosi Children.’
This, Society Watch gathered, is part of the foundation’s commitment to put smiles on the faces of the less privileged and impact them positively.
Adewoye, as revealed, said LawrenceGrace Foundation is founded primarily on touching lives positively, reaching out to widows and indigent school children in less privileged societies, by providing healthcare, free medications, empowerment programs and gifts to support them in their livelihood.
It was further gathered that this is the second of its outreach to schools. The first was at a school in the Ajegunle area of Apapa, Lagos State, where over 2,000 school children in the deprived community went home with joy and positively impacted after the event.
“We would be impacting the lives of over 200 school children in Ikosi Community. In a world where moral decadence and loss of self-esteem have become a norm, it is important to be in the faces of these young ones, to mentor them, counsel them, show them love and also give them gifts that would support their well-being in their studies,” she said.
The generous woman also appreciated partners and sponsors for their continual support in putting smiles on the faces of several families across different locations.
