Welcome to Akure, Ondo State Branch!
Secretary - Elizabeth GBADEMOSI
Treasurer - Anna AWOPETU
Our small branch consists of 10 members which are citizens of different countries such as The United Kingdom, India, Congo, Togo, Guyana, Poland and Russia. We reside in three cities of Ondo state - Akure (the capital), Ondo and Idanre.
We hold our meetings every month (2nd Sunday) on a rotational principle.
Our branch may be one of those where an average age of members is not less than 60 years. But being "old" by age,we are still fill young !!! We have very lively meeting where hosts entertain us all with delicious menu every time. Due to the fact that our members are mostly pensioners , we do not have much opportunities and funds to carry out big projects or offer donations often. Our monthly contributions are used to support some special groups of local residents in the state during Christmas and Easter periods. We also donate time to time to the National Project of Braille Books production. Traditionally we present bags of rice and beans to Leprosy settlement in Akure and to the Old people home in Ondo town.
