Also Mrs. Bello, Head Teacher of Saint Peters Anglican Primary School, Ologorin, Ogun State expressed gratitude to the foundation ”We thank Gbenga Ekunola and his friends for this kind gesture and hope that others will emulate him so that the future of these little ones will be brighter”, said Bello.

Afterwards, the gifts in the goody bags were given to the pupils, who beamed with wild smiles as they danced away to the blaring sound.

Receiving the quests, the Head Teacher of African Church School, Yobo said that though the school have been neglected by those expected to be supporting its growth, we thank Pega and Friends Foundation for associate  with them and creating and making impact on the society.

The atmosphere was not different at Christ African Church Primary School Igbore, Abeokuta, Students were so happy to received the foundation and the gesture was applause by school authority.
