In a bid to put smiles on the faces of vulnerable children, One F Foundation, a non-governmental organisation, feted children in Ibadan with a heartfelt outreach.
In a heartwarming gesture of charity, Oluseyi Obaleke, founder of the foundation, said that her mission was to spread joy and provide essential support to those in need, especially vulnerable children and students.
Places visited include; St. Mathias Grammar School in Orogun and the Jesus Children Mission Outreach in Tejumola, New Bodija, Ibadan.
During her visit to St. Mathias Grammar School, Obaleke addressed the students with warmth and compassion. “This season is a time for giving and sharing love. We want to remind you that you are valued and that there are people who care about your future,” she said.
She advised them to face their studies, be of good behaviour and pursue their dreams with vigour.

At the Jesus Children Mission Outreach, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement as Obaleke distributed donations that included packs of Indomie noodles, food items and drinks.
“Every child deserves a chance to dream and succeed. Our goal is to uplift these children and provide them with the resources they need to thrive,” she added.
Her commitment to making a difference was evident as she engaged with the children, listening to their stories and inspiring them to pursue their aspirations.
She told them that, “Education is a powerful tool, with the right support, you can become anything you want to be.”
Obaleke’s encouragement instilled a sense of hope among the young attendees, reminding them that their circumstances do not define their potential.
On the impact of her outreach, Obaleke noted that, “This initiative is not just about the gifts we bring; it is about creating a sense of community and belonging. We want these children to know they are not alone, especially during the holiday season.”
