" "Non est vivere sed velere vita est." Is a Latin quote that translates to, Life is more than just being alive. And to truly be alive you have to live through others. I believe material things are irrelevant in space and time but legacies live on, being alive means making others be live too and that might be a little bit of help, a little push, an irrelevant donation is a life changing promotion to another. We live through others and that fuels my passion for helping people. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: The Unilorin Food Bank.

The Unilorin Food Bank is a project that I hope to continue. We provide free raw food items to students in desperate need of feeding, especially in this period of my countries economic inflation. Many people, especially dependants struggle to have a single meal per day. This is a way to just lift the burdern of feeding, even if it is just a little.
