Media Personality Kevwe Ogunje Celebrates Birthday With Down Syndrome Kids In Partnership With Ofure Global International Services

UK returnee, BEFTA Award winner and Rave TV presenter, Kevwe Ogunje, in conjunction with Ofure Global International Services feted kids living with Down Syndrome on Tuesday, 23 August to mark his birthday at Down Syndrome Foundation Secretariat, Surulere, Lagos, and donated food items to the inmates.

Speaking on what motivated the move, Kevwe said: “When you get to a certain level in life you realize that even if you don’t have too much you ned to start reaching out to the less privileged. The objective is to show to the kids that they are loved and truly cherished. The difference between the rest of us and these kids is just one chromosome.”

Why Down Syndrome kids? “Most times people see orphanages as the only place where people need relief but they forget that children with Down Syndrome need special care and love. We need to integrate them into society,” the Ofure Global Holdings Ambassador said.

Speaking, Muyiwa Majekodunmi, Coordinator, Down Syndrome Foundation Nigeria said: “God bless you and your family. I want to thank Kevwe Ogunje and Ofure Global Holdings for choosing to celebrate with the kids. We are looking forward to a wonderful relationship with you. We have a maxim here which says ‘accept, educate and inspire.’ It is about giving them opportunities to work as dancers in your music videos and acting in your movies. Please give them opportunities to work and showcase their talent.

“Finance is a major challenge we face here. Getting society to accept them is another and the message I have is that corporate bodies and celebrities should emulate what kevwe is doing today.”
