Two teenage brothers, 12-years-old Netochukwu
Nwogbo and 15-years-old Gozzy Nwogbo, have donated
a brand new library to a primary school in Anambra
state.
The young philanthropists built and furnished the
library and donated it Amaenyi Community Basic School
in Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra
State.
Student Pulse gathered that the brothers’ step-
grandmother had taught at the primary school for
years until she retired.
Netochukwu who handed the key of the school library to
the Anambra State Commissioner for Education, Prof.
Kate Omenugha, said the dilapidated and non-functional
library in the school inspired them to execute the
project.
“We had just paid a visit to the Amaenyi Community
Basic School and were heartbroken at the dilapidated
state of the library,” he said.
He said their parents, also know philanthropists, had
fully supported their vision.
“Our parents always taught us to be grateful for the
things they are able to provide for us.
“They taught us that giving to those that do not have
is lending to God. They practiced these teachings in
their own lives by always seeking opportunities to bless
others.”
He noted that they executed the project themselves,
without their parent’s assistance.
“We however, decided to do it ourselves, to prove to
other kids that you’re never too young to lend a hand.
“We are extremely grateful to all the people that
responded to our fundraising requests.”
The Headmistress of the school, Eunic Okoli commended
the children and their parents for the library which she
said would improve the reading culture of students.
Governor Willie Obiano, represented by his Deputy, Dr.
Nkem Okeke, promised to provide more materials for the
library.
