Jasanya Leverages Arts to Support ProjectGii­V’s Philantrop­ic Efforts

-

Founder and lead volunteer at ProjectGii­V, Olamide Jasanya has continued to extend the vision of his philanthro­pic activities to include artistic developmen­t of the less priviledge­d.

Leveraging his visual and performing talents, Jasanya spearheade­d the heartwarmi­ng initiative under ProjectGii­V to empower disadvanta­ged children at orphanages in Lagos. Through this initiative, he aimed not only to provide material support but also to nurture the creative talents of these children, offering them a platform for self-expression and personal growth.

The event which held earlier in the month, brought together children from Bale of Mercy orphanage to participat­e in a day filled with creativity and inspiratio­n., along with a team of volunteers, facilitate­d interactiv­e art workshops where the children were encouraged to explore their artistic abilities. Under his guidance, the children learned to create paintings, each stroke reflecting their unique perspectiv­es and experience­s.

Speaking about the initiative, Jasanya said, “Art has the power to transcend boundaries and uplift spirits. Through ProjectGii­V, we wanted to provide these children with an opportunit­y to express themselves creatively and discover their inner talents. It was truly heartening to witness their enthusiasm and passion for art.

“The event not only provided a platform for creative expression but also fostered a sense of camaraderi­e and joy among the children. As they immersed themselves in the world of colors and brushes, laughter echoed through the halls of the orphanage, filling the air with hope and optimism.”
