Corps member donates writing materials, uniforms to school
A corps member, Cynthia Maduekwe, has donated writing materials, uniforms, and whiteboards to students of a secondary school in Rivers State.
A corps member serving in Rivers State, Cynthia Maduekwe, has donated writing materials and school uniforms to students of Community Secondary School, Obonoma, in the Akuku-Toru Local Government Area of the state.
Maduekwe, popularly known as CyanahPEN, is a Pioneer Petrochemical Engineering graduate of the University of Calabar and founder of EngineNews.
The donation, which also included 12 new whiteboards, cartons of board markers, board cleaners and other learning materials, was said to have been facilitated through the intervention of Hon Augustine Awoyesuku.
Maduekwe, during the presentation of the items, said she was moved by the poor state of the classrooms on resumption, with broken boards and a lack of basic learning materials.
She said, “The donation is aimed at easing the burden on parents, boosting the morale of students and making learning more conducive in the rural school.”
She said the projects were part of her community development project and also to contribute her own quota to development and give back to the communities around her place of primary assignment.
”Before NYSC, I had seen corps members doing projects; so when I came here, I felt I should do the same. I am happy my dream came to reality,” she said.
