On the 18th of October, 2014 Benola staff joined in a Charity Walk tagged “KEEP CALM” organized by the Down Syndrome Foundation of Nigeria.

Though the Foundation has its home and offices at No 43 Adegoke street, off Marsha Road, Surulere, Lagos, the walk which started at 8: 56 AM from Apostolic church of God compound, Cele Bus Stop, Okota featured a large number of individuals with Down Syndrome, family members and a host of others who were all colourfully dressed in branded T- Shirts and Caps.

There were frequent stops in populated areas to enlighten people and hand out hand bills about Down syndrome and the mission of the foundation.

Paramedics and a host of security personnel form the Nigerian Police force, Lagos State Traffic Management Agency (LASTMA) and Road Safety Corps were on hand to ensure safety and welfare of all participants.

At the finish point, Staff of Dangote Group showed their support by handing out noodles and other products while The Coca-Cola served chilled drinks. In all, it was a successful outing!
