From Ifeoma Ejiofor
Nnewi Union in Atlanta, Georgia, USA has again made Christmas merrier for the less privileged persons at home.
The group in her 2025 Christmas empowerment program sent rice and cash to selected less privileged persons in the four quarters of Nnewi in Nnewi North LGA of Anambra.
At Nnewichi-Nnewi, the distribution of palliative incentives from the group took place at the secured and serene compound of Late Chief Sydney Okeke(Aghariaku).
Speaking during the exercise, Mrs Grace Okeke who anchored the distribution at the zone said that the initiative is not politically motivated.
She noted that Nnewi Union in Atlanta Georgia USA as part of her annual empowerment program has always been offsetting bills of patients who are not financially capable to do so.
Mrs Okeke however said that the hospital visitation was deliberately removed from the package in the 2025 program because certain staffs of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH) Nnewi are on an industrial action.
The anchor person for Nnewi Union said as a result of the industrial action at the hospital, Nnewi Union increased the bags of rice palliative from seventy five per each quarter to one hundred bags.
The joy of the beneficiaries rose to the crescendo as members of Nnewi Union in Atlanta, Dr Comfort Nonyelum Obiazor, Engr. Vincent Obiazor and Chief Isaac Emefo arrived the Nnewichi-Nnewi venue.
They burst into singing and danced to welcome their benefactors even as prayers were made for the group for not forgetting the poor folks at home.
At the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, Okongwu Memorial Grammar School(OMGS) venue for Umudim-Nnewi distribution center, Mrs Egbuonu Chioma Theresa supported by Ven. George C. Uchendu endured an hitch free process under the watchful eyes of Mrs Okeke.
Ven Uchendu led the beneficiaries in prayers and appreciation for Nnewi Union in Atlanta for their massive support for the less privileged persons at home.
Sharing of palliative for Otolo-Nnewi zone took place at St. Cletus Catholic Church while Uruagu-Nnewi’s distribution also went on smoothly at St Berth Anglican Church.
