   You must not have to donate money to make a difference... There are other things you can do to create a positive change in the lives of the disabled and less privileged. 1. DONATE YOUR TIME: Time is precious... Time is value... You can donate your time to assist those who are helpless.  You can help them to wash they clothes, wash their plate, cook their food, take them for a walk, keep them company and show them love. In fact a little time you spend with these people is enough to give them hope, it makes them to know that someone cares about them and that alone can take their pains away. 2. DONATE YOUR SKILLS Yes, you can donate your skills but first you need to know what you can do best. If you are good at sewing, you can teach them how to sew clothes, if you are good at singing, you can teach them how to sing, if you are good at baking, you can teach them how to bake cakes and stuffs like that.   What ever skill you teach to the less privil...

  Nike Center for the Disabled was founded in 1972. Since then, the Marist Brothers have been managing it very successfully. People like Chief Lanky, Bro. Peter Leonard and Francis Ohiri (to mention but three) have been Directors in the Center. Presently, Bro. Gabriel Oboh is the Director of the Center. The Center has people who are blind, lame, deaf, mad people, spinal cord injury patients and some cured lepers. These people have their wives and children and they face the challenges of feeding them, clothing them and sending them to school.  Without help from Philanthropist, it is almost impossible for them to coupe challenges they face everyday therefore we welcome all form of assistance from whoever that could afford to do so as we remember you in our daily prayers. God Bless. Below is our bank details: ACCOUNT NUMBER: 3032908975 BANK NAME: FIRST BANK ACCOUNT NAME: REV. BRO OBOH GABRIEL
