“We put this event together for the purpose of accountability. It is important to say thank you, but it is equally important to let you see the results of your support. Today, we will be sharing with you through a documentary and through direct testimonials from some of our past trainees how much we are able to achieve because of your support.”

Akinkugbe disclosed that support from donors can come in different forms- direct financial support, financial sponsorship of students’ school fees which is about N210,000 per student, or the full cost of maintenance; support in kind such as food items, payment for the repair and upgrade of facilities, critically needed equipment and more.

He, however, called on corporate organisations, government agencies and parastatals, good spirited Nigerians and others to support the blind to achieve their purpose in life through donations and support particularly financially.
