45 Years ago aged about 9 years old,i was taken up by a local Catholic Priest when my Parents died mysteriously after an epidermic struck our area.About 20km away was a priest who adopted me and took me through the ranks of school from nursery,Primary school and secondary school.He used to teach me at home for the nursery part learning how to read and write.I had a tough time but God was always with me and i made it through Primary school to secondary school at O-level. After O-level i joined a convent and then there after i sat for my A-Level exams.I joined University under the local priests sponsorship.In my second year at University,he passed on and from then i came to realize i was alone in the world!I didnt know any brother or sister.It is then that i realized i had been adopted and its when i got to visit my late parents graveyard!It was so hurting and shocking to know that my parents had died long ago and that i had no siblings or relative....!I accepted God as my Father,Mother,Brother,Sister etc. I Graduated at University and started Teaching.My first salary gave me a work plan and in 6 months i had bought some 5 land.This is the land on to which i started an orphanage!God has looked after me for all this time and here we have 359 children who are disadvantaged and orphaned!I have graduated with my Masters in Theology and i feel i owe Fr.Powell alot!I pray for him always where ever he is!May his RIP! I have continued teaching to keep the Orphanage going and i personally run it on my own meager salary with proceeds from the farm produce and harvests.I have to thank God so much that am able to do this.NO one has helped us here despite the need too!I take them as my own children and am so glad God has always looked after us and protected us despite the hard time.PRAISE BE TO GOD!Pray for us here!
