Lady gifts shoes to students who walked barefooted to school
Meanwhile, it was previously reported that a Nigerian lady had got shoes for poor students who go to school barefooted.
Speaking about the work her NGO does on Twitter, she said:
“We normally give out 50 Uniforms and 50 sandals to selected pupils with bad uniforms and those without shoes. I later increased the number to 70 due to large number of children without shoes in all the schools.”
In her words:
"What I did during my break time yesterday. There are so many of them who attend classes without shoes . They trek miles barefooted. Light up a life."
According to Abimbola, giving makes her fulfilled and she derives inexplicable happiness going the extra mile to make the pupils happy.
