Tribute to Volunteers in Nigeria

RESPECT Nigeria received great assistance from 'Lola Olasehan, one of our active online volunteers in Nigeria. She has assisted in raising funds for the Oru primary school children and writing letters. Within one hour of sending the emails to contributors, she was able to raise ₦14600 (Nigerian Nairas - NGN) for the Sponsor a Child project. The project entails the cost of educating, clothing, and feeding a child at the Oru Refugee Primary School, Oru, Ogun State. She will be attempting to continue sending similar writings to corporate workers via email.

As part RESPECT Nigeria sponsorship program this year, we will continuously donate educational materials, clothing and food for the upkeep of the children at the camp as more funds come in. On Tuesday 31 May 2005, we made the first project, School chalk was donated to the school for the children. This was donated to celebrate the Children's Day in Nigeria. I want to officially say words of thanks to 'Lola in order to show my appreciation and to RESPECT Nigeria contributors' below.
