I love my job

-

 

I am loving living a life of impact.

Albeit, doing my job as a journalist with the stress,  I enjoy doing my philanthropy life with double stress, but higher fulfilment.

Over the weekend, a young man I did a story of him winning a JCI award for inventing a first aid kit for eye treatment,  called me that he wanted to give  our little man a gift. See me see gift, I said okay.

On Monday, young Babatunde came to my office, gave our son the gift. However, my joy knew no bounds when we started a discussion on how to better the lives of indigent and underserved communities.

Note: I told him the reason I go out of my way to celebrate and write about young stars changing lives without collecting a Dime. I reiterated that helping others without immediate gratification has ripple effects.

Come next week, our NGO, Elizabeth Osayande Foundation with R.E.T.I.N.A Initiative, led by the co-founder Babatunde Bale  will be at Makoko for a free eye testing exercise.

Guess what, I haven't been able to enjoy my meal since the visit.  My story is not to disparage anyone but to see that what needs to be done is done and done properly. ©  Elizabeth Chienyenwa Osayande  03/11/21
