Mrs Kunbi Wuraola - ED, Junior Achievement - visits LOTS Charity Foundation

The kids of Dustbin Estate who take classes at the LOTS Resource Center were given  surprise visit by the Executive Director of Junior Achievement, Mrs Kumbi Wuraola, and her lovely daughters, Tishe, Mishe and Tunmishe. They came into the LOTS Resource Center at 3:10pm, Friday, 9th 2011. The kids were skeptical about their arrival because they were not told about the visit, but after Mrs Wuraola spoke to them in the manner they understood they – the kids – relaxed and began to flow. It was the same for feeling for Tishe, Mishe and Tunmishe Wuraola who were a bit shy at first, but after a while begun to flow with the kids.

Mrs Wuraola said her visit was borne out of the curiosity of her daughters; they wanted to see the kids who live in the Dustbin Estate and have a chat with them. They also brought some gift items (exercise books, foot wear, biscuits and drinks) to give out to the kids.

Before their arrival, the kids of the Dustbin Estate were having a computer class and as the lesson was getting tougher and tougher it became obvious that the visit of Mrs Wuraola and her daughters was a timely one.
The talented kids, Tishe, Mishe and Tunmishe, also gave out copies of their wonderful album titled “Deep down in my heart” to all the kids and they also performed one of their songs to the delight of the kids.

It was interesting to see the kids mingle without fear or complex as they exchanged names, phone numbers and ideas. This goes to show the hard work the staff of LOTS Charity Foundation put in to making these smart, confident and social regardless of their current state and environment.

Vivian, one of the LOTS kids gave a vote of thanks on behalf of LOTS Charity Foundation and Mrs Wuraola promised to come back soon to spend more time and give more gift items to the kids. She went on to encourage the kids and motivate them to strive for excellence in their studies. She pointed out that the most important things for the kids now are to love and obey God, honor and obey their parents and study their books.
The kids took group photographs with the Wuraola’s, and soon after, they left.
