My friends, as you might have known, I visited Nigeria recently. I went to see my parents, siblings, family members and also to launch a Foundation. I have always wanted to do this and has been growing within me for over ten years.
Our mother would ask that I send to her pens and pencils that she could give to students who recite their Sunday School memory verses. These kids were always looking forward to going to school every Monday with new pencil or pens.
This slowly ignites something in me.
This year, God made it happened, though in a small way due to some out of control incident, it happened anyway. The birth of Popoola-Aromire Educational Initiatives (a.k.a. - No Child Left Behind).

This picture is the kids (and their teachers ) that received the bags with a few school supplies in it. The teachers received some of the materials for their classrooms too.
Then, out of no where a sponsor emerged.......Today, I went to my job's Credit Union for Community Outreach program. I then showed this picture to their Manager, Community Relations. If you look in the picture, some of the bags(lime color) belong to the Credit Union. She was so impressed with my unplanned presentation that she pledged that her Bank will become our Sponsor! Won't He do it? God is in total control of our lives and activities if we could just trust Him.
Please pray for us that this Foundation will grow and have the needed resources to do what my heart desire for it.
I want to thank two people especially for unknown to them, inspired me to doing this because of their own activities too - Alicia Stukes and Amina McWhirter
God is able.
