Awka, Anambra State – In an unexpected visit brimming with holiday spirit, Mrs. Nonye Soludo, wife of the Anambra State Governor, graced the Model Community Home in Awka. Her mission was twofold: to spread the joy of the Christmas season and to evaluate the academic progress of the children residing there.
Mrs. Soludo’s surprise visit was centered around the festive season but also carried an educational focus. She engaged with the children, inquiring about their academic performance, emphasizing the importance of education. “Doing well in school is very important,” she stated, underscoring her belief in education as a pathway to success.
Acknowledging academic excellence, Mrs. Soludo took the opportunity to recognize the top performers. She announced special rewards for the students who secured first, second, and third positions in their classes, aiming to instill a culture of hard work and achievement. “I told them I would give them rewards to show that hard work pays off,” she shared, hoping to inspire all the children to strive for excellence in their studies.
Beyond academic encouragement, the visit was laden with the spirit of giving. Mrs. Soludo brought along an assortment of food items to ensure the children could celebrate the festive season with joy. The donation included bags of rice and beans, yams, cooking oil, and boxes of biscuits, among other essentials, contributing to the holiday cheer.
The sight of the children’s joyful faces was a reward in itself for Mrs. Soludo. She expressed her satisfaction in seeing the happiness her visit brought to the home. “Seeing the happiness on the children’s faces made me feel really good,” she reflected, highlighting the emotional impact of her gesture.
Recognizing that the well-being of these children extends beyond festive gifts, Mrs. Soludo took the time to appreciate the efforts of the staff at Model Community Home.

The visit by Mrs. Soludo was not just a one-time event but part of her ongoing commitment to the welfare of the less privileged in Anambra State. Her actions reflect a broader initiative to support education, health, and happiness among the state’s youth.
By focusing on both academic achievement and festive celebration, Mrs. Soludo aims to create a balanced environment where children can thrive holistically. Her approach combines immediate festive joy with long-term educational success, setting a foundation for future community leaders.
The Model Community Home, in turn, appreciated the visit as it not only brought material support but also highlighted the children’s academic efforts to a broader audience, potentially encouraging more community involvement in their education and well-being.
