My Achievement - Babatunde Adekeye
Mr. Adekeye who recently through his Foundation, WHF, donated school uniforms and school sandals to some students from the two public Primary Schools in Omupo, the St. Michael Primary school and the Omupo Community Primary School.
He explained that the donation of school uniforms and shoes to the pupils from the two primary schools was to assist the parents and guardians of the beneficiaries.
While doing this, he also deemed it to appreciate the efforts of the teachers whose importance in the life of these children can not be overemphasized by providing the staff of the four schools some food items as a sign of love and commitment for the welfare of workers in schools.
He added that, the plan was also to complement the effort of the Kwara State Government under the leadership of Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq particularly in the area of education.
The CEO also explained that, Whispering Hope Foundation is a Non-Governmental Organization principally established to care for the less privileged and the vulnerable people in the society with the aim of ensuring their better living.
NGOs and the government could collaborate in developing appropriate and flexible learning assessment tools, in line with innovative teaching and learning methods.
The government and NGOs will need to share a common vision on how to achieve universal primary education if India is to reach this goal.
NGOs can be credible partners with the government in shaping policies for primary education. This entails collaboration rather than parallel initiatives by NGOs.
"When it comes to charitable giving, peer pressure sometimes does help! When you are generous with your time and money, those around you will mirror your behavior". He said.
In most religions around the world, charity is a basic tenet. Since ancient times, society has always felt the need to help its most vulnerable members. For Christians, charity is emphasized in bible, while the Islamic religion too encourages giving.
The Founder of WHF while thanking God for his mercy in his life since he was born and in the lives of his family, the contribution he was able to make to the lives of the people, pledged that he would continue to serve his God and assist humanity.
"God has been so kind to me and my family. I will continue to praise His name and appreciate Him in my live for the wonderful things He has don for me". He stated.
"You see, charity is not just about giving away old stuff and volunteering when you have the time. It’s a continuous effort to make life better for others, especially those who have less than you. No matter your financial situation right now, there’s always something you can do to ease other people’s suffering. That’s how charity should be. It’s not about what you can give but what you are willing to give". He added.
Babatunde mentioned that, he has been able to contribute meaningfully into lives of children leaving in Omupo , Kwarans and non- Kwarans with the little resources available to him.
The government could support the efforts of NGOs to bring out-of-school children into schools through timely supply of teachers, classroom space, and other resources.
He then commended Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for prioritizing education in the State.
He informed that, since Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq assumed office in 2019, he has given face-lift to schools across the three senatorial district of the state.
Teachers were also promoted, and regular training and retraining were also organized to make teachers relevant in the current education dispensation.
He however urged well-meaning people in the society to cultivate the habit of charity by assisting the poor and the less privileged people in the society.
He said basically, he derives joy and happiness when he caters for the poor, the needy and vulnerable in the society.
