TWO MILLION CLOTHES FOR CHARITY

Growing up as a teen on the streets of Obalende has shown me that a girl can 'hawk' or sell herself just to eat and get clothings. Boys can steal just to keep clothe on their body. In 1998, I received a vision to to reach to the youths and the less privileged. That's the brainchild of our coming together. To provide succor for those we can, for someone whom today is a little less privileged. Someone out there can benefit from what we have.

Our goal and desire is to gather 2,000,000 clothes for the poor. A larger part of this will be washed by celebrities and willing individuals. Our primary goal is to create awareness and motivate Nigerians and Africans to always remember the poor especially the naked because we will always have them in our midst. Let's encourage people to give out what they are about to throw out from their wardrobes. Africa has always waited for relief materials from foreign donors but how can we ourselves help ourselves?

1. As part of activities marking my birthday on Sept 18th, I will want us to give out the first 200 clothes from the 2,000,000. And on December 12th another 2000 so that people can have clothes for December. We will be helping to reduce crime and atrocities by this. You can help by donating clothes or helping in gathering from people who have to donate.

I am gathering clothes here in Lagos for charity and I also have some Exercise books. The essence is to give them to those who truly need hope.

On my birthday, Sept 18th, I'll like to flag off some of the projects by taking the things I have, to IDPs, orphanage, Schools and indigent children but I can't do it all alone. So I need a team especially reps in each state

2. We want to hold Wash for charity in Lagos on the 12th of Dec and a national Wash For Charity grand finale on May 28th 2016. Wash for charity is an initiative to turn public attention, people's attention to the naked in the society. There so many less privileged walking amongst us on the streets, even next door to us.

The idea is to generate awareness for the project using celebrities and the general public

Can I add you to a list of volunteers I already have?

Let's exchange ideas and information.

3. You can also be a part of the stay in School project. We have some exercise books to donate freely to schools or IDP camps with school or indigent children. The goal is to produce 10,000 exercise books for free donation as Part of our educational support. At the moment we only have 500 books.Other plans include providing a free lunch bag, food & water flask, a pen, a pencil, so that in the Bag, an under privilege child can have one lunch bag, 10 exercise books a pen, a pencil and a May be a mathematical set. You can decide how you can come in, whether it's in cash or in kind. God bless

4. You can recommend an orphanage or charity home or School or any one you know needs all the above mentioned.

5. It will be a gr8 idea to have representatives in every state in Nigeria. We need to be on the team, everyone, to the schools and orphanages. At the moment we have a rep in maiduguri, cameroun, jos and the bulk of us are in Lagos.

Motivation Channel: YOUR VISION IS YOUR MOTIVATION - Empowered Vision ...: Vision is the engine that keeps you going while passion is the fuel that drives you. So while passion keeps you moving (in motion), Vision...Your vision is your best raw material, the one you need to succeed in life. Your vision is one of your greatest assets in the world. When you believe in your dream/vision, it begins to attract its own resources.

YOUR VISION IS YOUR MOTIVATION - Empowered Vision Series - 07

Vision is the engine that keeps you going while passion is the fuel that drives you. So while passion keeps you moving (in motion), Vision keeps you steady; it keeps you together. 

You won't be wrong to say your Vision is your Drive or the spirit that moves or motivate you to take certain cause of action(s).  

Don't lose your vision, so that you don't lose your steam. Don't lose your vision so you don't lose your drive.

Often, you see people give up and become beaten by life or circumstances, the simple reason is the fact that they've lost their vision; their motivation. They’ve allowed temporary things, things substandard to their vision/destiny overwhelm them.

When you see or hear of suicide victims or those who've attempted suicide, you discover that they somewhere along the line lost their motivation for living. When people loose their hope for living they start dying.

What is Hope? Hope is expectation of what is yet to come. You don't see what you hope for physically most times but you see it as something you are expecting or anticipating; usually you see it as a Vision. You begin to envision whatever it is you are hoping for. You have a vision of that thing. 

Therefore Vision is a source of hope; it’s a source of courage; it’s the source of perseverance in the midst of difficulty. Your vision becomes a source of motivation.

Stop holding on to your past, Stop holding on to your failures, they will keep you in bondage if you dwell on them. "Tomorrow contains more joy than any yesterday u recall". Hold on to ur vision, don't give up on it; Keep believing.. We can have faith in the future only if we have faith in ourselves .

When Paul said "...I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" in Philippians 3:13-14, He was sharing his vision, his motivation with us. 

Paul kept the vision of the prize of the upward call of God and that became his drive.

Vision gives us endurance.

In the second verse of Hebrews 12, it says “Jesus for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God”. Here vision is being referred to as the joy set before Jesus. In the same verse, we are encouraged to fix our eyes on Jesus as our example.

The cross even though it was meant to make Jesus give up couldn't because Jesus had His eyes fixed on the Big Picture; His vision. 

Each time you are down, just look at your vision it will motivate you. Your vision should motivate you. There is light at the end of the tunnel for you, Don't give up on ur vision.

One other way vision provides motivation is that it gives you joy. A vision is meant to give you joy. Vision is an enzyme for motivation. When a vision enters ur heart, it releases an enzyme call JOY which serves as a catalyst for your fulfillment/success.

I remember catching a vision as a teenager in 1998 at Discovery for Men organized by Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, I went in as a boy & came out as a man. I even had to trek home that day cos of the joy released into my heart.

That's what vision does to an individual. Your Vision should propel Joy in You.

Your Vision may not look like what you desire now, don't worry your vision will give you joy, one day soon. Just hold on to your vision, don't give up. Keep believing, It will happen for you one day when you least expect.

You may be working for somebody today, don’t lose your own vision.

You may be going through hard & difficult times, fret not, the vision God gave you will still come to pass. You may be down in that valley of decision today, God will bring you out & your vision will come true.

Your vision may be way bigger than your, do not let it weigh you down, God can and He will see you through.

No one was born to be a failure. U need to have faith in the future & have faith in yourself; start living your dream.

Spend at least 10-30 minutes on your personal vision daily & see great results.

Your vision is your best raw material, the one you need to succeed in life. Your vision is one of your greatest assets in the world. When you believe in your dream/vision, it begins to attract its own resources.

My desire is to see you Achieve MORE, I believe in you & I know you will succeed.

Dear friend, there is light at the end of the tunnel for you because your vision was given to you to motivate you.

Remain blessed in Jesus name.
