Beneficial Remark from Mrs. Funke Bello
"There were days I didn't know what my children would eat. Living in Oworonshoki, things are not easy for many of us. When Pink Food Bank came with relief materials, it felt like a weight was lifted off me. For that period, I didn't have to worry about where the next meal was coming from, and that is something I will not forget."
