August 05, (THEWILL) – Nollywood actress Linda Osifo recently clocked 30. To mark her birthday, the Edo born thespian, who is known for her love for less privileged children and the support she provides to orphanages in Lagos, decided to make some donations to The Arrows of God Orphanage in the Ajah area of Lagos. This she did through her Love and Oneness Foundation, which has similar projects in the pipeline, such as ‘The Child to school Project’ and ‘The Clean water for all Project.’
Every year, the actress donates food items and laptop computers to orphanages. This year, it was the turn of The Arrows of God Orphanage and apart from the customary donation foodstuffs and brand new computers, she set up an e-learning centre for the children.
Expectedly, the founder of the orphanage, Rev. D.C Ogo, expressed his gratitude to Linda for her kind and thoughtful gesture, just as the children in the orphanage were beyond themselves with excitement on being taught how to navigate the laptop computers.
The actress attributed her reason for putting smiles on the faces of children in orphanages to the grief her father went through as an orphan at a very young age and the need to eradicate poverty and illiteracy among the less privileged.
Ivory Ukonu is a versatile journalist with many years of experience, with entertainment and society reporting as her area of core competence.
