In what could be termed as "hardwired for giving", the founder of Builders Hub Impact Investment Programe, Barrister Natasha Akpoti on Friday 26th January gives clothes, shoes, and other necessary materials needed by children to the 600 pupils she earlier adopted their primary education in 2016.

The programme which was held at the premises of Central Primary School Obeiba Ihima in Okehi LGA of Kogi State was witnessed by school proprietors, academics, parents and hundreds of her admirers.

The elated pupils could not hold their joy as they matched en masse to welcome the mother of 600 back home.

One of the beneficiaries, Azeez Mistura who did the appreciation message on behalf of the 600 pupils said Natasha has given them hope when they think there is no hope, praying for divine protection on her daily routine.
In her  own words, " On behalf of the 600 children, thank you for sponsoring our education. Thank you for giving us hope, may God bless you ma."

While giving her speech, Natasha noted that the performance of the pupils who came to deliver speech has shown that her efforts is not a waste.

According to her, " Whenever I am depressed, I look at the pictures with the pupils, I see reason to live again, I see reason to do more."

Natasha who keyed into the submission of Nelson Mandela "Education is the greatest weapon to change the world," reiterated that  "Education is the foundation of development, we will continue to help the less privileged to acquire it, and make education interesting for our children  because they are the future of our land."

The parents hide no iota of their joy, they awash the philanthropist with prayers, sang and danced to appreciate the noble path she has chosen to give back to the society.

Natasha who was spurred by her penchant for education; the need for an average Nigerian to have ducation and to demonstrate the lesson taught by her father decided to adopt the 600 pupils' tuition fee in 2016 in commemoration of her late father, Dr. Jimoh Abdul Akpoti who died on the 3rd November, 1998.

For the last two years she adopted the
 primary education of the  600 pupils among whom are 278 Orphans, the philanthropist has been paying their tuition fee, providing school bags, clothes, shoes and other necessary materials for them.

Natasha's gold heart negates the view Christopher Lasch called our culture of self-absorption and narcissism which lamented the idea of giving for the sake of others or a common future that seems just plain out of touch. In the  face of avarice and self centeredness in the society, Natasha chosen to be different.
