Friends of the disabled Isale Eko Lagos Island is truly the place to bring social and economic change to the community of disabled people through education and skills training.
Chinedu Dibor and I on the 12th of April 2011 had a chat with the staff who took us on a tour around the facility.
Disabled, both young and adult are taught tailoring,welding,bead making,shoe making,bag making fish farming and computer skills.
I was really impressed at the proper management and organisation. The classrooms, skill acquisition rooms, hostels, neat and clean environment.The rapport between staff and even speech and hearing impaired students was great. I saw them as one big family.
I was happy to find a name sake. Blessing was making a jeans skirt.
I met Chidinmma who was in his math class,preparing for GCE. He wants to be a lawyer.
A big thanks to Chief Mrs Orduh for giving me the opportunity to visit her facility. I kept on saying "this woman get mind ooo"
My Ble ble, you're doing great. You'll do well as a president's wife. This is what they should be doing, not spending time deceiving Nigerian WUMEN!
