Lend a 'Helping Hand'

Like the Real Naija person that I am, whenever I heard anything about a Fund-Raising event toward Haiti here in Lagos, the first thing I said was ‘Na today?!’

There have been several of them; I even attended one and all I kept thinking while I was there was “If these people think even for a nano-second that their money is getting to even the Haitian beggar here in Nigeria, they are truly Magas!!”

So when I was contacted to participate in yet another Jos/Haiti Benefit, my finger didn’t hesitate to hit the delete button. However, I stopped for a moment and thought to give them the benefit of the doubt. So I replied asking if they could verify to me that the money realized in the Fund-raising will actually get to the people who have been victimized by these two events.

They’ve been able to convince me, so I come bearing good news.

Inner Circle is a humanitarian group of young people in Lagos, Nigeria, who have partnered with the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) to raise funds for the victims of the Jos Crisis and the Haiti earthquake.
