***As part of Owayoko Festival celebrations, the ministry’s gesture sparks hope for Indigent but brilliant minds
The ancient community of Isolo in Akure South Local Government Area of Ondo State came alive recently as the people gathered to celebrate the annual Owayoko Festival, a cultural heritage event that symbolizes unity, tradition, and progress.
However, this year’s edition had a unique twist, a beacon of hope for young learners through a scholarship scheme initiated by World Care International Ministry.
In a ceremony that blended cultural vibrancy with humanitarian spirit, several secondary school students received educational scholarships from the ministry, giving families a reason to smile beyond the festive drums and dances.
Gracing the event, the Osolo of Isolo, Oba Edward Kolawole Adejoyegbe, praised the ministry for what he described as a noble intervention in the lives of future leaders.
“Education remains the bedrock of development, and any effort to promote it is commendable.”
“We appreciate World Care International Ministry for sowing this seed of hope in our children,”
the monarch urged other individuals and organizations to emulate the gesture.
The founder of World Care International Ministry, Dr. Olajide Animasaun, represented by Dr. Ajayi, explained that the scholarship initiative was part of the ministry’s commitment to community development.
“We believe education is a powerful tool to break the cycle of poverty and empower the next generation.
This programme is our way of giving back and ensuring no brilliant child is left behind because of financial challenges,” he said.
One of the recipients, Temiloluwa Falade, an SS3 student who spoke on behalf of others, could barely hide her excitement.
“This means a lot to me and my colleagues. We are grateful to World Care International Ministry for believing in us, and we promise to make them proud,” she said
The scholarship award was the highlight of activities lined up for the Owayoko Festival.
For Isolo, this year’s festival was more than a celebration of heritage, it became a celebration of opportunity, vision, and a brighter tomorrow for its children.
