AS part of its efforts aimed at touching the lives of people in its business environment, Noah’s Ark, a Lagos-based advertising agency,

has adopted the junior and senior arms of the Community High School, Wasimi, in Maryland, Lagos. The company has also donated food items and reading lamps to 36 most brilliant students in the two schools.

Donating the items to the students, the Chief Executive Officer of the company, Mr. Lanre Adisa, explained that his agency decided to adopt the school because it believed so much in human development.

 “As a responsible organisation, we are convinced that the future of our dear country depends on quality education and proper upbringing of children, who are the future of our dear nation. In particular, we decided to come to Community High School, Wasimi Maryland, because of the need to complement the effort of the government to give public school a facelift,” he stated.

Adisa, who was accompanied to the school by senior members of the agency, addressed the students in the senior section, alongside the acting school principal, Mrs Augustina Okerekwu. He urged the students to begin planning for a fruitful future through their commitment to studies and good morals.

He said, “Students who look up to a successful future must strive to have a clear cut vision that would drive their heart desires.

As children, there is no better time to plan a fruitful future than now; therefore, each and every one of you should start dreaming of becoming future leaders and captains of industry from now on. You should therefore have it at the back of your mind that this cannot be achieved if you take your studies with levity.”

Speaking further, the advertising practitioner, who also repeated the same goodwill message in the junior school, said his company would not limit its assistance to donation but will intervene in other areas through which it could add values to the lives of the students. Responding on behalf of the schools, Mrs. Augustina Okerekwu and Mrs Adenike Oresanya, the Acting Principal of the school and principal of the junior school, respectively, commended the agency for the hand of fellowship extended  to the school, while urging other private organisations to emulate this good gesture.
