A National Youth Service Corps member, Nyah Patrick has brought nothing but utmost joy after he donated a two bedroom bungalow to a widow, one Mrs Blessing Onyekwere at the Inyia Community Ibere, Ikwuano LGA of Abia State.

In her response, the widow, Mrs Blessing Onyekwere, who almost broke down in tears thanked the Corps Member and prayed that God blesses him immensely for his kind gesture towards her and the children.
