Nigeria’s representative at this year’s ‘Face of the
Globe 2016’ international pageant, Princess Adaeze Nwaji, has promised to use
her exposure partnership with the Arm of Hope Foundation to further the cause
of the underprivileged and disadvantaged members of the society.
Princess Adaeze, who spoke SOB on her recent deal
with AHF, a nongovernment and non-profit organization founded by Apostle Eugene
Ogu, who is also founder of ALEM Church in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, expressed
joy to assist the organization.
“I am very impressed with what Arm of Hope
Foundation has been doing all over the country; from providing shelter for the
needy in the north to provision of school in Dogo Nahawa (Plateau state) and
others. These are ventures that very few NGOs would risk their lives and
resources to undertake.
“My
recognition and endorsement by the foundation is a great opportunity to work
with like minds and empower the deprived majority. The foundation prides itself in empowering widows, providing shelter for displaced
Boko Harm victims. It is committed to
educating young leaders as our country can only be built by educating the
leaders of tomorrow.”

“I sincerely admire and appreciate Arm of
Hope volunteers and partners all over the world. Arm of hope foundation is one
of the charity organisations in Nigeria that have touched lives of the less
privileged tremendously. I feel honoured to be associated with Arm of Hope
foundation.”
She
brightened up while speaking about her passion for caring for deprived widows,
less fortunate children and individuals suffering from mental illnesses.
Speaking further, she disclosed that “pageantry has
afforded me great opportunities and platform to express issues I am most
passionate about. I intend to give back to the society as much as possible.
“Today, we admire
social welfare system in other countries. We must remember that their charity
organisations were the hope of the common citizens before their welfare system
developed.
“We must join hands
together as a people to assist our NGOs and charity organisations because, we
can do a lot for each other. To be
honest, I care less about how much water
went down the bridge because, all I can see is a New Nigeria. It will take a
while to sanitise our fatherland however, it takes you and I to make Nigeria
great again.
On her chance at the Paris final, she said, “I have
been preparing, I have been reading and working on my catwalk and doing other
fundraising activities.”
