The pastor in charge of Victory House Parish of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Ilaje, Bariga, Justice Ayodeji Balogun, on Sunday February 2, donated 25 new laptops to students of the Bethesda Home for The Blind.
According to Balogun, the students would have lost the opportunity to go to University without the laptops as this is a fundamental requirement for their enrollment. He said, “Nobody should be denied the opportunity to have quality education because of his or her disabilities. It is our hope that each person who is visually-impaired may experience the information age in a positive and productive manner. We believe technology opens new worlds and creates an opportunity for greater personal freedom.”
According to him, the laptops valued at N2.5million, will be configured in “braille” to make them usable by the beneficiaries.
Shortly after the presentation of the laptops to the blind students, Balogun led church members to feed 500 Bariga residents; He gave cooked and raw food items to the beneficiaries. According to him, the feeding programme and the laptop donation, are in line with the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) focus of the RCCG as taught by the General Overseer Pastor E.A. Adeboye.
