Group Drums Support For Less Privileged

The Barr. Sam Otoboeze Foundation, BSOF, has called on good spirited members of the public to support it in its drive to add value to the lives of the less privileged in the society and fight idleness and crime.
President of the Foundation, Barr Sam Otoboeze, who made this call at the 2020 edition of the annual BSOF celebration, said that the move would help deal with all sorts of crime at the incubation stage.
He noted that the best theatre of war against crimes is the rural areas that produce lots of jobless youths who in their search for better means of livelihood end up swelling city criminal gangs.
“It is for this reason that we at the BSOF are seeking opportunities to reposition for the extension of our rural-based community activities and projects,” he explained.
Otoboeze noted that the 2020 edition was most remarkable following the foundation’s artificial limbs donation facilitation programme that went to the North where 10 amputees received custom-made limbs.
The foundation also had beneficiaries from the People of Strength Empowerment Program, PSEP, participating in the exhibition of their products.
He added that the foundation had also initiated programmes to identify and train 50 Nigerian women in specific COVID-19 economic survival techniques.
“As part of the foundation’s interfaces to create job opportunities for the youths, four persons were also sponsored to training in drones technology in Cairo, Egypt”.
He said he was motivated to start up the foundation because of the sufferings he passed through, having lost his father at a tender age.
“I didn’t understand how my mom managed to raise me from that level of hopelessness to a level of hope and that is why I want to give hope to the hopeless”, he added.
