TUC Women Commission Donates To Orphanages
The Trade Union Congress (TUC) women commission on Friday donated food and household items to orphanages and old people’s home in Benin, Edo.
Our correspondent reports that the women, clad in colourful attires, sang and danced to show their love to the less privileged.
Ms Rose Uzor-Kalu, Chairman of the commission, who spoke at the Charilove Centre, said that the women used the occasion of their 8th Delegates Conference to show love to the people.
“The women as mothers love to touch lives and help the less privileged people in the society because we know the pain they bear,’’ the chairman said.
Uzor-Kalu said the women could not afford to return to their various stations without making an impact on the lives of the poor in Edo.
“We can not come hear and return home without putting smiles on the faces of the people we know have little or nothing. TUC women have milk of human kindness in them,’’ she said.
Our correspondent reports that the children at the Charilove centre, Sapale road and the elderly at the Old Peoples Home on Airport road, expressed their joy at the various items brought to them.
They came out to welcome the women, sang and danced with them as they received items which included plastics, buckets laundry soaps, toiletries, provisions and food items.
Mr Chris Omusi, founder of Charilove said that the centre was a rehabilitation home for poor disabled children.
He said that the centre depended on charity from groups and organisations to manage the place that catered for children who are deaf, dumb and other physically challenged persons.
He said about 150 children are not accommodated in the centre, but it still needed food to provide their daily lunch.
