From Osunde Osaigbovo Massy
For the pupils of Iguemokhua Primary School in Orhionmwon Local Government Area of Edo State, it was a day that they will ever lived to remember.
A day when over 200 of them were given free uniform, school sandals, stockings, and writing materials to assist in the actualization of their educational goals, courtesy of a German based Edo indigene, Mrs. Comfort Emmanuel.
The pupils were full of Encitement when they were told by their teachers that they were going to be given a new uniform by a well spirited individual. So they comported themselves in a civilized manner and waited patiently and eventually, they got it.
For those who benefited, the problem of I do not have uniform or other school materials will no longer come up from the pupils and this will be in no small measure foster a very strong education foundation for them who are the future leaders of that community and by extension, Nigeria as a whole.
Also impacted on, were the orphanage homes at Uyiosa and Charry Love, both in the state capital.
The donor, Mrs. Comfort Emmanuel Osunde who came in company of her German christian brother, Mr. Fuhrman Frank, said she was inspired by God to show kindness to the less privileged in the society irrespective of tribes and religion.
She said she derived joy and satisfaction from helping the less privilege adding that she did not see what she is doing as a challenge but a calling to help the needy in the society.
"I do not believe that there is much challenges. There is no challenges because we work under the fear of God and His instructions. He is our guardian.
"Actually, nothing much but because of the fear of God in me, that makes giving to the less privilege ones, the orphans, the widows and the widowers so interesting to me.
"Giving is one of the fastest means to get God blessings. No matter the little thing you have, it is good to share with others who are in need.
"I do not have any motive but I just do it to please my father in heaven and that make me happy because I love to see people smile and happy and when they are happy, I am also happy.
"By the grace of God, anything that God places in our hearts to do for Nigerians or Edo State, or Iguemokhua village or other villages, we will do it but for now, we leave everything in the hands of God", she said.
The visiting German, Mr. Fuhrman Frank who is visiting Edo State for the second time, said he was going to take the message back to his country and fine tune how many of the school pupils in the rural areas can be assisted.
"I am here to see my brothers and sisters of the same believe in different country and to see their conditions and how they are living and to help a little bit to improve their conditions.
"My sister is doing all these work because she knows her people, she knows their conditions of the people in the orphanage, of the people in the villages and so on. I am here to support her so that she can do all that she is doing.
"I have seen it with my own eyes and I can share the testimonies about this to my people in Germany and to see if they can also do something on their own to help", he said.
He commended the people of Iguemokhua for their hospitality and the joy in which the pupils received the uniform and other stationery given to them.
"You know, there are different culture, languages and climate. So you have to cope with all that.
"You also know that if you are coming to the country you have never been to before, you have to learn a lot, how to communicate with the people, how to understand them but all these are going on smoothly but for my sister, she is born in this country, she knows what to do and how to do them", Mr. Fuhrman said.
