As part of the 2024 Press Week celebrations, the Ondo State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) demonstrated its commitment to community welfare by supporting children at a local orphanage. The gesture reflects the union’s dedication to social responsibility and its efforts to uplift the less privileged.
The NUJ delegation, led by its Secretary, Mr. Mechack Olaoluwa, visited the orphanage yesterday, bringing essential supplies and engaging with the children in a heartwarming display of care and compassion. Mr. Olaoluwa emphasized the importance of giving back, stating, “Press Week is not just about journalists celebrating themselves; it’s about reaching out and making a difference in our community.”
During the visit, the children expressed joy and gratitude for the thoughtful support, which included essential items and shared moments of connection. The NUJ Secretary reiterated that even small contributions could have a significant impact on the lives of those in need.
The initiative is part of the broader activities marking the 2024 Press Week, showcasing the union’s commitment to balancing professional excellence with community engagement. This act of kindness underscores the NUJ’s mission to foster a more inclusive and compassionate society, inspiring others to follow their lead.
