“I donated my winnings to Con Amore School to enable some of the renovations to be implemented and to give Keketso an opportunity to a better education with regards to her school fees,” said Okpara.
“Observing and interacting with Keketso at Con Amore School, who has been diagnosed with a profound intellectual disability, autism and epilepsy, made me appreciate life more. We tend to turn a blind eye to people with disability and special needs. After visiting the school and realising how much is still outstanding to ease the daily routine and life of these children, broke my heart.”
The school is very thankful towards Okpara for making a huge difference to Keketso’s life, as well as the school’s daily routines.
