Nigerians 
have been asked not to discriminate people with special needs but show love to them.
The founder of ‘Hope Dey Foundation’, Mr. Onyinye Amadi made the charge at an event to commemorate the eleventh year of existence of the foundation at Rumuodomaya in Obio- Akpor Local Government area of Rivers State.
Mr. Amadi who gave out wheel chairs, guiding canes, generating sets among other items, explained that the gesture was a way the Foundation gives back to the society and urged the beneficiaries not to see themselves as weaklings but rather, able bodied persons who are useful in the society.
Presenting the items to the beneficiaries, the chairman of Obio-Akpor local government council, Mr. Solomon Eke congratulated the recipients and promised to partner the organisation in offering skill acquisition programmes to alleviate the sufferings of the physically challenged.
Two of the beneficiaries, Mr. Alero Nwaneka, who is a graduate of education management and Miss Divine Nwonodi, appealed to government to consider them in terms of employment opportunities and empowerment, to give them a sense of belonging.
High point of the event was the cutting of the anniversary cake to mark the occasion.
