DURU, FOUNDER AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, PRE-ADULT AFFAIRS
ORGANISATION (P.A.A.O.) ON OCCASION OF P.A.A.O DONATION OF
FOOD ITEMS AND CASH TO LITTLE SAINT ORPHANAGE HOME,
PALM-GROVE, LAGOS STATE ON SUNDAY, JULY 16,
2006.
The Executive Director of Little Saint
Orphanage Home,
Invited Guests,
Ladies and
Gentlemen,
Members of the Press
And the orphans of this
home,
Permit me to begin my brief speech by saying this
quote. “What lies ahead of us and what lies behind us are
nothing compared to what lies inside us”.
It is with
great pleasure I make this speech in the presence of everyone
present here not only because history is being made, but
because I want us all to realize that even amidst the chaos
and confusion of some of our leaders in this country, we still
have people and organizations that are interested in our
children especially the orphans and the less
privileged.
I would have loved to come in person but at
present, I am out of the country precisely in the United
States and will be back today. I was informed about this event
yesterday and I had to fax this message to my organization,
getting members of staff to make this speech on my behalf and
making these donations because I believe in these young ones.
The Pre-Adult Affairs Organization is solidly behind you. We
care and we express our love in very practical ways as we
present our donation of food and money to this
orphanage.
I want to make a passionate appeal to other
bodies such as Non-Government Organizations, Corporate
Organizations, the Government and well meaning individuals to
always assist and encourage these young ones. They are
tomorrow’s leaders. They are the future of this country. We
need to build them, equip them, care for them and show
unpolluted love to them. Let’s not forget the ancient saying
that whatever you sow, that you will reap.
We are
using this medium to invite everyone to the launching of our
Five Billion Naira Fund Raising Dinner for the Pre-Adult
Programme Support Centres in the six (6) geo-political zones
of the federation.. Our plans are well laid. We are set to
take charity work to the next level. With our Vocational Skill
Training (VOST) Acquisition department, Pre-Adult Programme
Scholarship Scheme (PAPS-Scheme), Family Integration Services
Unit, and others. Come one, come all and lets join hands to
make life enjoyable for our needy, indigent and hungry young
people.
Children, I love you all, stay away from
trouble, obey those in authority and pray always.
Long
live Little Saint Orphanage
Long live Pre-Adult Affairs
Organization
Long live The Federal Republic of
Nigeria.
Thank you.

it, we have turned a big corner on the road to
success. |

power itself and use the will to pursue the |

It is good to be old but painful to be
neglected. I wish to grow old and be well taken care of by my

WORDS OF CHIEF SANDRA

Chief Sandra C. Duru died and God saved her
life.
NOBODY SHOULD CRY FOR ME! I am not dead! Have you
all forgotten Psalm 118 verse 17 and 18? "I shall not die but
live and declare the works of the Lord." The Lord has
chastened me severely, but He has not given me over to
death!...I must live.
