“At burials, the dead don’t just die; they teach the living how to live.”
The above statement was glaringly apt at the burial ceremony of ACF Kogi Director’s father, Elder J.U Simon. The burial, which took place in Ugbugbu Amaka, Igalamela Odolu Local Government of Kogi State on the 4th of February, 2015 became not a platform for mourning but for the distribution of free vitamin A’s and Albendazole for children and free multi vitamins for pregnant women and lactating mothers.
“This is how it should be”, said Paul Ugbede, ACF Kogi Director, who over saw the distribution, “When a man dies, he should be able to give an opportunity for living, to children.”
The distribution of free drugs during a burial program was the first of its kind in Amaka community and it was widely accepted by all. For a moment, everyone took leave from mourning to receive the free gifts from ACF. Pregnant women and nursing mothers were elated and could not hide their joy because this will be the first time they will receive drugs in any form during or after pregnancy. Ugbugbu Amaka is a little village, caught off from civilization by lack of access road and social amenities. The community has no light and no portable water of any kind.
