CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME

“Sometimes, you have to bring it home.”

Introduction

The point I am aiming at is encapsulated in the

well-travelled aphorism that says:

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME

Caprecon Foundation has come home, indeed.

We came home:

When we established a branch in Warri.
When we provided a beginner’s skills acquisition training programme in hair and beauty treatment and food making, namely: Hairdressing, Pedicure and Manicure, and Pastries.

This training programme was aimed at, and attended by, final-year students of the College of Commerce, Warri — my alma mater.

Growing up, my grandparents instilled in me the importance of learning a trade alongside academic pursuits.

I wish I had taken them more seriously.

Now, I’m trying to inculcate that same mindset into our young people.

“Our world is fast changing and shifting more towards learning a trade or trades, rather than concentrating entirely on academic learning.”

The advantages are glaring

Speaking of my alma mater, together with the Graduands of 1987 (who came years after me), we donated a library to the college.

We do these things because we believe they matter.
It is not ego-driven, but driven by a deep desire to give back.

You could do the same, if and when you can.
Every little act of giving makes a difference.

I want to thank and appreciate the Caprecon Warri Team for their good work, diligence, and commitment:

Let’s keep in mind that charity truly begins at home.
