"Miss Farida Bedwei contacted me asking if I had plans on embarking on any donation. I explained to Farida Bedwei what I intended doing and that was when Farida suggested the female prison. This is how it all started and the rest is history as they say," she said.

Following the exercise, Afi Antonio expressed her sincere gratitude to her supportive followers who always contribute to all her projects since her foundation started five years ago.

"It was sad seeing mostly old women inmates. I saw one physically challenged woman with a hunchback and asked myself, what she could have done to have ended up in prison. They were all looking so sad," Afi recalled.
