END OF YEAR PARTY 2021
This year we covered 5 locations in 2 days instead of the usual 2, Oja Oba ( old palace ground) Challenge , Ring Road (Palm Mall) Mokola under bridge and Iwo Road felt our presence. Over 400 packs of toiletries (bathing soap, laundry soap, body cream, toothpaste and toothbrush with reusable sanitary napkins for girls) was distributed alongside snacks, drinks and goodwill. The recipients were grateful and appreciate the fact that they’re still considered part of the society , most of them are willing to be rehabilitated and become productive Nigerians if given the chance. Thanks to all of you who made it possible

African Chess Championships
African Chess Championships: Waris Mufutau and Hassan represented Nigeria: thanks to Airpeace Nigeria for the tickets to and from Accra and all our financers. While Soliu Hassan finished the tournament with an average performance of 4 points of 9 games in the U16 category, our younger ward, Waris Mufutau (U-14) finished with an impressive 5.5 points, a point shy of the bronze medal. It would have been a better performance for Waris if he had not fallen sick during the course of the championship. Despite his condition, the boy showed great resilience till the end. His resilience gained recognition from the Organisers, thus he received a Fair Play Award for having played through all games with that condition.
