Creating Pathways to Hope and Opportunity
HELTO Valentine Outreach February 14, 2023
On February 14, 2023, HELTO Foundation brought the true spirit of love to life with an unforgettable outreach for children aged 3 to 15 years in the Igando community.
It was a heartwarming day filled with laughter, learning, and love. We shared school bags, writing materials, and food with the children ,simple gifts that lit up many faces with joy.
The event also featured competitions and a talent hunt, where the children showcased their brilliance and creativity. Two exceptional 15-year-old boys were awarded tuition scholarships (paid directly to Igando Grammar School), while the third-place winner received a ₦10,000 cash prize for his outstanding performance.
That day, the community felt seen and heard ,as though light had entered Igando. The Baale of the community expressed deep gratitude and gave his royal blessings, commending HELTO Foundation for bringing hope and love to his people.
It was truly a Valentine’s Day to remember ,a day that brightened hearts, uplifted dreams, and reminded us all that love in action changes lives.
