It was
unbridled joy for the recently graduating
students of the five-month vocational skills
training progromme of Dominion Faith
International Church, Ipaja, Lagos State. Tagged
The Free Economic Empowerment Development
Strategy, FEEDS, the programme was design to
train people within and outside the community in
different areas such as yoghurt and soap making,
catering, hats and beads making and computer
literacy; at no cost for the benefiting
students. |
|
|
Over a hundred had initially
registered for the programme. But, thirty successfully
completed it at the end of the first phase. David Ugbagbe,
who learnt desktop publishing, is one of them. “We have
acquired necessary skills that will enable us to connect to
our destinies,” he said, beaming. “I feel fulfilled,” said
Eniola Adeola, a business Administration undergraduate who
learnt yoghurt making and already has her product in the
market. |
|
But
it was more joy for David Olatona, senior pastor of the
Church, who noted that his fulfillment was contributing to
making people’s lives better. “I am very excited about this
because I can see people who are already producing yoghurts,
soaps, baking, and are making money to pay their children’s
school fees and house rents,” he said at the graduating
ceremony. |
|
Despite the huge running cost
and lack of corporate sponsorship, Olatona affirms that the
church will continue to support the less privilege in the
society. “Every institution, not just churches, should have
a way of giving back. |
|
While
addressing the graduating set, Olatona advised them to make
the most of what they have leart. |
|
The next
phase of the FEEDS programme began in the second week of
May. |
