As the stay at home order still lingers, well meaning citizens, organizations as well as corporate bodies in the State have deemed it necessary to assist the vulnerable through donations of food items to cushion the effect of the directive.
One of such gestures came from Nzekwu Cares Foundation, a non -governmental organisation in Onitsha.
Beneficiaries who were drawn from Osuma, Isagba, Enweonwu, Nkisi Aroli Streets Onitsha and environs were made to maintain social distance order and hand washing rituals before they were attended to.
Speaking to the ABS in an interview, the Founder, Nzekwu Cares Foundation, Mr. Gregory Amechi Nzekwu said he was motivated to touch the lives of the people around him especially now the stay at home order is still in force adding that it has been a ritual for him for over twelve years now.
He prayed that nobody will be infected with COVID 19 in the State and called on the people to be mindful of all the State Government directive to check the spread of the Virus.
On his part, his first son and the Chairman, Anambra Internal Revenue Service (AIRS), Dr David Nzekwu stated that Nzekwu Cares Foundation was initiated by his parents with the aim of giving succour to the downtrodden in the society saying that his father decided to assist, and help the less privileged around him by providing them with food items to cushion the effect of the stay at home order.
Dr Nzekwu advised all to adhere strictly to the directives issued by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the government describing the COVID 19 pandemic as global emergency.
Some of the beneficiaries thanked the donor and his family for providing for them and prayed for God’s blessings.
