A while back when I was serving in Taraba State, my passion for Putting a Smile on Faces of those without wealth, Healthcare, Unsecured. I started drafting a Document on how as  a Corps Member, I can do something to help others using our Allawee. While in the camp, I wanted the Proposed NYSC Foundation to be my PERSONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES . A project that would have gotten me so much National attention or being rejected at the Local or Zonal Level. Atleast by trying, my hope is that One day somebody will continue with this idea and You can Count on me for guidance and support in whatever way possible. My idea was simple, if each corps member agrees to pay N100 monthly (that is N1,000.00) throughout your service year. If it can be replicated in all the 36 states and the FCT, We can embark on life changing project in our host communities with millions of Naira going into the NYSC FOUNDATION to execute a Project in form of CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. Let me not bothe...
