THE
Okuijorogu community in Okpe Local Government Area, Delta State, has
commended a Non-Governmental Oranization (NGO), Deltawomen USA-Nigeria,
for its interest in opening schools in the community.
The
commendation was made when the Coordinator of Deltawomen, Elsie
Ijorogu-Reed, and her team visited the community to acquaint themselves
with the level of education.
The group has been in the vanguard of
campaign to open schools in Okuijorogu community and distributed notes,
pencils, and biros to the children during the visit.
A spokesman
of the community, Mr Lawrence Ijere, said they were greatful to God and
the NGO for its interest in educating their children.
He said
their visit will further inspire the children to educational pursuit and
thanked Elsie Ijorogu-Reed, praying God to sustain her.
Earlier,

government to take steps to open a school in the community.
She said
they were happy that action was been taken, following their letters and
promised to continue the pursuit for schools to be opened in Okuijorogu
community.
It will be recalled that Deltawomen had in the past offered free eye treatment and provided reading glasses to the people.
