"As beautiful and so thoughtful this is, there is every possibility that some big wigs in that hospital may corner these items, and still end up selling it to patients that are in need of them. God bless the donor, may God's blessings and favour locate him everywhere he goes."

"Me too in 2009, I changed two tattered Nigerian Flags of two public primary schools in a very remote village in OFU LGA Kogi State. I got them new ones. The post above just reminded me of that little personal contribution to the community I served during NYSC 16 years ago."
