Sometime in 2012,I visited a friend who reside in Ajegunle and I saw a girl crying at the house entrance. She was yelling and ignoring pleas from her mother to go to school.
I was bothered and asked her why?
Her response blew me apart.
She said
"Every one in my class laugh at me everyday because I have been using nylon bag to carry my books from primary school and now I am in JSS2.My mummy doesn't want to buy me a school bag.I can't stand d mockery from my class mate any more".
I felt for her because I had a similar experience back then in school before I dropped out. What did I do?
I removed my laptop from my bag and put it in her nylon bag and I gave her my laptop bag.She was extremely happy and hurried up her preparation to go to school.
We have thousand of young children like her in my city of birth, Ajegunle.
Pls help and kit up a child to school.
