The Vicar Hope Foundation, a pet project of the wife of Abia State Governor, Mrs. Nkechi Ikpeazu since its inception has been carrying out many human faced oriented projects in the State.
Apart from building houses to indigent widows in the society and rendering assistance to various vulnerable groups and individuals, the Vicar Hope Foundation has also ventured into health care, particularly, in not just arresting sickle-cell anaemia but carryout advocacy on how to prevent it and eliminate its existence in Abia State.
As part of Mrs. Ikpeazu’s campaign against the sickle cell disease, the wife of the Governor through the Foundation has established sickle-cell clubs on over four secondary schools in Abia State by adopting a ‘catch them young’ strategy. These established clubs have been inaugurated while some would soon be inaugurated.
Recently, the Wife of the Governor visited secondary schools for a book presentation and to formally inaugurate sickle cell clubs in the schools. It is important to note that she, among other things charged the students to be good ambassadors of the club, she encouraged them to read in between the lines of the book she presented to them. The book titled towards a better tomorrow’, has the Governor of Abia State, Dr victor Ikpeazu as a co-author.
The intention of Mrs. Ikpeazu is to further encourage students to extend the campaign against sickle cell circle to their uncles and aunties, their friends and relatives, even to their enemies.
If the student would avail themselves the opportunity of reading and appropriating the knowledge to themselves it would help achieve the dream of Mrs. Ikpeazu in eliminating if not eradicating the deadly disease in the State.
Another good thing about the activities of the Vicar Hope Foundation as regards sickle-cell anaemia is the counselling, free treatment of already victims. This club would inculcate the culture of testing and confirming ome’s genotype status before marriage.
The programme of the wife of the Governor, a woman with the ‘midas touch’ should be appreciated by all and sundry.
GOOD THINKING, GOOD INITIATIVE.
