READ THE INSPIRING
STORY OF KINDNESS
It is not every day that we come across people who reach out
to the needy with a good intention. In a world like ours where personal gain is
the order of the day, it’s extremely hard to see people doing good things for
the love of it. Most people do good because they hope to gain publicity and
wealth. It is even more difficult to see young people these days engaged in
helping the needy. All our youths are after are fast cash and luxuries of life.
As a result, I decided to share this inspiring story with
all my readers out there. It’s unusual for a beautiful young barrister to
decide to celebrate her birthday in a way that can be termed “un fashionable”.
The Lady in question goes by the name Barr. Fisayo Aransiola. Of all the
glamorous places she could have gone to celebrate her birthday, she chose an
NGO that serves as a rehabilitation center and caters for juvenile delinquents,
abused and trafficked girls who may have been exposed to harsh ways of life.
Worthy of note is the joy and sense of belonging that these
girls felt. This little act of kindness by Miss Aransiola gave their
self-esteem the much needed lift. In her
opening speech she charged the girls to believe in themselves and not allow
themselves to be taken advantage of by men. She also urged them to forget their
past and focus on their future, that there is a new dawn for everyone.
Akinlolu Timothy
Kehinde (SAN) who was present at the event commended Miss Aransiola while
urging the girls to take a righteous path and always believe in God. Fela Bright
from Steps to Life...Nig. also shared his personal experiences in life with the
girls. He talked about lessons learnt from past mistakes. But which he did not
allow to destroy him, from which they too can draw inspirations. He encouraged
them to be obedient and chart a new course in life.
