November
24th 2012, is one day a lot of under privileged people in abuja will not forget
in a hurry. Cool fm Celebrity On Air personality, KRYSS 'THA BOSS' MOLOKWU led
a lot of his friends, fans and partners to a community development project
which has been on for the past 4 years. The twist this time was that, while visits
had been focused on orphanages in the past 4 years this year's edition saw the
first stop being the domain of the Blind and disabled people.
HOME FOR THE BLIND AND DISABLED
Home for the Blind and disabled people in Karimajiji (a suburb in abuja)
was the first point of call. Received in the palace of the Disabled Chief, ALH.
SULAIMAN KATSINA, who was full of praises, and gratitude for the gesture of the
delegation. He was quick to ask the group to ensure that his people were taught
how to fish as against giving them fish.
In a related development, the Chief of Blinds who noted that
the kind gesture was what young Nigerians lacked and needed to emulate, asked
Kryss and his friends to ensure that the public gets a whiff of the living
condition they are subjected to.
In his response,Kryss stated that this marked the 5th year
of his philanthropic work going public and he intended to make it even bigger next
year, while stating that he didn't see the Blind and disabled as less
privileged but as physically challenged. He also admonished the occupants of
the colony to stay steadfast in their belief in the oneness of the nation as
well as in their abilities to make wealth, as begging is never a way of life
viewed with repute.

HOPE
FOR SURVIVAL ORPHANAGE HOME
|
The second place visited was the
HOPE FOR SURVIVAL ORPHANAGE home in Gishiri abuja. Here it was a cocktail of
mixed feelings as the children at the home were happy to see their visitors,
while the visitors in turn couldn't hold back their tears provoked by what they
saw in the house. A case in hand was a certain DORCAS who is 6 years old yet
can't see, move or sit properly because of a spinal cord injury which would
require surgery to be corrected. She needs the attention of well meaning
individuals to help her live like a normal girl.
Some of the friends of Kryss at the event include BIG MO', YAKSMAN AND
OCHE (WAZOBIA FM ABUJA) DANASOR(KISSFM ABUJA), FREDA (newspaper
journalist) members of the SOCIETY AGAINST PROSTITUTION AND CHILD LABOR
IN NIGERIA, and a horde of fans.
