For example, for the community center we
plan to raise 40,000 dollars and pay for the
place for ve years upfront. At this point as I
am talking to you, where we are at raising that
money is zero dollars but before the end of
August we will open that center. It's just that
mindset we have collectively that there is
absolutely nothing that will stop us, we will get
the job done, it's just a matter of life and
death.
I dare say we save more lives than the
Nigerian Police Force because for every child
we take off the street that is one less person
you have to bother about, one less person that
will steal from you in years to come. Apart
from that fact that is one less person that will
cause "mayhem", that is one more person you
can run to that will offer you a service.
Question: So far, have you or your
organization had international recognition?* I
know you travel a lot so have you been
recognized internationally for this excellent
work you do?
Response: On paper, probably the work we
have done should have reached 50,000
million people and that is because we have
been covered by strategic news media.
I am hoping that the exposure will translate
into more of these kids getting transformed.
