In line with its Corporate Social Responsibility initiative, Event Industry Nigeria (EIN) in collaboration with Event Market Nigeria (EMN) recently supported the differently abled in the society by organizing a charity event tagged, ‘Differently Abled Meet and Greet’ for Pacelli School for the Blind and partially sighted children, Surulere, Lagos.

The event was a platform to encourage and support the blind children and inspire them to greatness to be self-actualized citizens in the society. It was an occasion to make them realize that people do care about them to inspire them to fulfil their dreams.

Event Convener of Event Market Nigeria, Temmie Amodu, said that the visit to Pacelli School for the blind is to uplift the plight of the differently abled and create a platform of expression and self-actualization for them.

He further encouraged the students to keep alive their dreams and passion in order to live a fulfilled life. It was an atmosphere of fun as differently abled talents seize the occasion to entertain themselves and the crowd. Amongst them are Abednego Norris, the first Blind African Rapper and multi-talented artist who anchored the event and proved without doubt that sight impediment does not deter one from showcasing humour and wits.

Kelly Blind of Wazobia FM was full of nuggets and jokes to inspire the children to greatness while sharing his life experiences.  Miss Ejiro Sharon, an Ex-Pacellian also used the occasion to express how she pursued her dreams and strived to achieve all her goals. “Being differently abled cannot deter me from pursuing my dreams as I believe we all have different goals to achieve, whether being physically challenged or not. So I will pursue my dreams with all I have got. I am looking forward to becoming the first blind Ambassador to the United Nations,” she revealed.

Sister Jane, Principal, Pacelli School for the Blind lauded Event Market Nigeria for deeming it fit to visit the school to support the differently abled kids. “On behalf of our students and the school, we say thank you for supporting the aspirations of the children,” she said.
