Operation GEquipmenT

     When I met Joy Ogunsanya last year, it took only a few minutes for us to completely get eachother. Within minutes, we were taking about how we wanted to change the world, six months later, I am writing about how this movement has begun. A few months back, January to be precise, Operation Get Equipment was lunch and the Paraphrase Operation GEquipmenT didn't take too long to surface

     Operation GEquipmenT was deliberate in its goals and a clear cut action was aligned with it. Operation GEquipmenT was going to provide equipments like laptops, sewing machines etc for less privileged kids in orphanages. The journey began with raising funds through any genuine means possible. We went round Akure sharing flyers, inviting people to come and wash their vehicle the next Saturday at a designated Car Wash. The funds didn't roll in as expected from the charity event and suggestions began to pour in as to how the initiative should take a new shape.

     It wasn't just about giving them equipments anymore, it had now grown into actually giving them skills that would build them up and make them great even if equipments were taking time to surface. With the help of fellow corps members and friends who all trooped out in mass, skills weren't had to teach.

     In April, various orphanages were visited and numerous kids were trained. In time, equipments will roll in and the vision will be actualized.

     Here are a few images from the last outing.
