The International Foundation for the Advancement of Social and Cultural Rights, IFASCR, recently donated education materials as part of his social responsibilities to pupils of selected primary schools.

Among the schools visited for the purpose was Zion African Anglican Primary School, Akute, Ogun State where the non-governmental organisation, NGO, distributed writing materials such as exercise books, biros, pencils and school bags to the pupils.

IFASCR is sole initiative of former Quartermaster General and second-in-command to the General Officer Commanding, Lagos Garrison Command, Col. Gabriel Ajayi, who had recently said in an interview with newsmen that what he had left to do in life was to put smile in the face of the people particularly children.

Speaking to the press during the visit, vice president of IFASCR, Mrs Adeola Erinle, who represented Col. The President, Col. Grabriel Ajayi, during the event, said more philanthropic programmes and activities by the organisation had been carried out and that more would still be done until, according to her, the retired Army officer, Ajayi, was sure that there was no deprivation in the land.

Mrs Erinle told journalists that, “The NGO was founded with the aim of advocating and promoting both social and cultural rights of Nigerians both at home and in the Diaspora. The NGO focuses mainly on the highly marginalised cadres of the society which include the women, children, the disabled, the aged and people living with HIV/AIDS.

What we have done today is part of what it stands for and, in a bid to embark on its philanthropic gestures, it also paid a visit to a public school in Ogun State, recently,” she said.

Appreciating the IFASCR’s guesture, the school’s headmistress, Mrs Falola was full of excitement and thanked the leadership and entire members of IFASCR for the good they have chosen to do for the less privileged pupils, who made up the school’s population.
