By Praise Chinecherem

An Anambra based radio station, Udala Radio 104.7FM Onitsha on Sunday celebrated Easter with the Red Cross motherless babies home and child welfare clinic, Onitsha.

The station’s team engaged with the kids through prayers and heartfelt conversations and donated essential supplies and others items worth thousands of naira.

Speaking at the event, Head of Operations, Udala Radio, Mr Korede Brown described the gesture as a mirror of God’s compassion and extension of His love to those mostly in need.

He said the visit was an opportunity for the station to extend its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), as well as give back to the society, share love, and make meaningful impact in the community.

He said, “The visit is more than just a gesture, but an expression of the station’s commitment to broadcasting and entertainment, as well as compassion and humanity.

“The Easter outreach, which brought smiles and renewed hope to the children and staff at the home, was an opportunity for the station to extend its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

“It was a time to give back to the society, share love, and make a meaningful impact in the community during this season of hope.

” We are here today to share fellowship with you and the inmates of this home of the less privileged in our society.

“This is an expression of our commitment not just to broadcasting and entertainment, but to community, compassion, and connection.

“We believe that real impact happens not only behind the microphone or the camera, but in moments like this —when we reach out to support those who work tirelessly for the well-being of others.”

While commending the team at the Red Cross, Brown noted that their dedication, sacrifice and service to the inmates and the society at large do not go unnoticed.

“You stand on the frontlines of humanity, and we are proud to stand with you, even if only in a small way today.

“Our visit is not just to bring supplies, but genuine encouragement and a sense of unity.

“As we celebrate Easter together, we also remember the importance of kindness, generosity, and shared responsibility. Our hope is that this visit brings not just gifts or supplies, but genuine encouragement and a sense of unity.

“Because at the heart of everything we do—whether in the media or in the field—it’s about people.

“We look forward to more collaborations and meaningful engagements with the centre in the future,” he added.

On their part, the Red Cross Society appreciated the initiative and commended Udala Radio for taking active steps to impact lives beyond the airwaves
