The session which took place in the premises of St Paul, saw the foundation donating a variety of food items and goody packs to the excited kids, who also danced with the stars to demonstrate their excitement.
Speaking before handing out the items to the joyous kids, Yisa Sofoluwe said that the GTCF made the donation in commemoration of the Children’s Day on May 27 and World Hunger’s Day on May 28, which fall under the purview of the organisation’s mission to help feed less-privileged kids in the society.
Sofoluwe noted that GTCF has been doing things for less-privileged children, promising that kids can expect more from the body.
Also speaking, Jide Alabi, who danced with the kids, urged Nigerians to join the foundation it its drive to put a smile on the faces of deprived kids.
David Fatunbi added that the GTCF was making plans to improve on their standard of life of kids in public primary schools.
