Tears of joy marked a heartwarming moment as philanthropist and founder of the Chima Anyasọ Foundation, Dr. Chimaobi Desmond Anyasọ, paid a compassionate visit to the Methodist Motherless Babies Home, Diocese of Uzuakoli. It was his first visit to the home, and one that left an enduring impact on both children and staff.
Dr. Anyasọ arrived bearing generous donations, including bags of rice, cartons of instant noodles, tubers of yam, and other essential supplies aimed at supporting the well-being of the children. More than just material gifts, he brought words of comfort and assurance, pledging that his foundation would maintain a lasting partnership with the home.
“You are not motherless; we are your parents. You have a family in us,” Dr. Anyasọ told the children, visibly moved by the moment. He offered prayers and positive affirmations for their future, urging them to remain obedient and hopeful.
The atmosphere turned celebratory as the children, filled with gratitude, sang songs and prayed for their benefactor. A representative of the home’s children expressed their heartfelt thanks, saying the visit had brought them joy and renewed encouragement.
Very Rev. Nnaemeka Ajike, Project Director of the home, commended Dr. Anyasọ for his generosity and compassion. He appealed for continued support to help meet the growing needs of the children under their care.
The visit highlighted the critical role of community-based humanitarian efforts in supporting vulnerable populations and restoring dignity to the less privileged. It ended on a note of renewed hope and joy, demonstrating the transformative power of kindness and empathy.
