Rivers State Deputy Governor, Dr. (Mrs) Ipalibo Harry has commended the David Bassey Ikpeme Foundation and Homes, for giving the vulnerable and less privileged children a lifeline.
The Deputy Governor made this commendation during an outreach visit to the Children’s home to present food and other items at Eagle Island in Port Harcourt.
Represented by her Senior Special Assistants Inegogo Fubara, Dr. Banigo said she was amazed by the great work the foundation was doing for the children, describing their action as laudable.
According to her she was at the home to extend a hand of fellowship to the children as part of her outreach programme for orphans and expressed delight seeing that the children are well fed and kept.
In her response, the Executive Director of the Bassey Ikpeme Foundation and Homes Mrs Koko Bassey said the foundation is not known as an orphanage or motherless baby’s home because the children are raised in a close-knit family setting.
She said the children attend private schools, while those who are not academically inclined are exposed to vocational studies, while the eldest child is currently at Madonna University Studying Optometry.
