The humanitarian group,Lawrence Grace Foundation wiped away their tears and brought smiles to their faces with several activities which also includes games, fun and baskets full of gift items.
Oluyinka who has carved a niche for herself through dint of hardwork and selfless services to humanity said the annual event was designed to identify with widows and their children as well as indigent school children in the society.
The event which also attracted dignitaries from all walks of life was held at the Centre For Management Development, Magodo area of Lagos state.

We have been to several local governments in Lagos and outside Lagos in the last four years, all with the aim of alleviating their level of poverty and empowerment for the widows.
