OAC IBADAN MADE MAY 27 SPECIAL FOR CHILDREN ON THE STREETS



Our tour continued to the next point of call- Mokola. Mokola is known for its hills and its striking challenge: access to drinking water. The bus stopped at the popular Group Medical Hospital. The team was set to reach out to the less privileged kids of Mokola, who were mobilized with the help of Muyiwa. We got to interact with those children. We met Basit who is just 14 years old, his father stopped him from going to school at primary four, to attend the Arabic school popularly known as ‘ile kewu’. He lives with Alfa Nurudeen Olore at Oniyanrin. We also met with Afeez who hawks pure water on the streets; he’s presently in primary five. We painted their faces, sang and danced, then took pictures with them. I must say those children were ecstatic after they received the gifts. Its Children’s Day, and the goal this year is to celebrate the street kids. Our last point of call was the popular Bodija market.
