Our gratitude to God is so great! The 10th Edition of our Mission 1:27 Project in Igosun, Kwara State Nigeria was a success. The Foundation distributed 5kg/11lbs of food to each widow and widower. With the impact of COVID felt throughout the world, food prices have skyrocketed. This food distribution could not have come at a better time as people are suffering and their access to food provision is very limited due to the high cost. The event looked a little different this time. To maintain social distancing and protect all who attended, the widows and widowers were split into two different groups with two different events allowing the chairs to be spread out sufficiently to keep everyone safe. In addition, extra health precautions were taken providing masks and hand sanitizer to each one of the attendees.

We appreciate so much the attendance of our honored guests. Isaac and Holly Olagunju called in to greet our attendees and share some words of encouragement. Pastor Sola Olaleru delivered our opening prayer. We were very fortunate to have with us Mr. Mustapha Mudashiru from Igosun Progressive Union and Mr. Abiola Oladipo from Igosun Health Committee who delivered remarks to the attendees as well as Mr. Adekunle Olagunju who provided closing remarks and prayer.

There was a pleasant surprise as Mr. Muritala Adewale Yusuf of Ade Printer stopped by to present a framed picture of our Honoree, Mrs. Ruth Ebunlomo Olagunju, as a thank you to her and the Foundation for the continued business that he receives from us. The gesture was especially touching as this year he has received no business from the Foundation due to cancellation of activities because of the pandemic. Mrs. Ruth Ebunlomo Olagunju was so touched by this act of kindness and honor.

A very special thank you to the Implementation Committee, Board of Trustees and our generous donors who continue to make this possible. We are forever grateful for your support. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress…James 1:27a.
