Spreading Joy this Festive Season: A Celebration of Giving Back Held against the backdrop of the challenges many face in our country today, the gathering brought together women and children who often go unnoticed in the hustle of everyday life. With heartfelt words and open arms, the organizers reminded everyone of the importance of sharing what we have, no matter how small. Dr Prince Ero Ibhafidon, the CEO, captured the essence of the occasion beautifully in his address: “The need for reaching out is quite alarming. Many people require our help, especially in light of the current economic challenges. We believe that through this event, we’ve been able to touch the lives of widows and orphans, ensuring they have something to take home this Christmas. The festive season is a time for sharing and giving, and as humans, it is our duty to look out for one another.” The message was clear—compassion and action go hand in hand. In times of difficulty, it is kindness that strengthens the fabric of society. Dr. Rose Orarian, Secretary of INEC, also spoke passionately, urging individuals to embrace the spirit of giving in their everyday lives: “You don’t have to wait for a big promotion or a significant pay raise to help someone in need. Even 1% of what you earn can make a tremendous difference. That small contribution you make could be the lifeline someone desperately needs.” Her words served as a poignant reminder that impactful change often starts with small, deliberate acts of kindness. The event saw the distribution of festive items, including food, clothing, and other essentials, to the widows and orphans in attendance.
