The social club said its visitations was to take  pain off the very less privileged, in the spirit that the birth of Jesus Christ brought salvation to mankind over 2,000 ago.

Starting with Nike Centre for the disabled, Marist Brothers Umuchigbo, where lepers, the blind and others sorts of challenged persons are quartered, Friends De Royale International Club donated food items, ranging from bags of rice, beans, tomatoes, salt, toiletries, cash donations.

The excited inmates prayed God to replenish the givers’ source of charity.

At Daughters of Divine Love Charity Home, Amorji-Nike, home of motherless babies, Sister Elizabeth Nwankwo, also prayed for the continued blessing and progress of members of the club.

It was the measure of appreciation at every other place the group went such as at the family Support Programme, FSP, Abandoned Children’s home in GRA; Our Lady of Perpetual Help Home of the Elderly at St. Paul’s Catholic Parish Agbani Road, Enugu.       Climax of the visitations was the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, UNTH, Ituku/Ozalla where the group paid medical bills running into hundreds of thousand naira for three less privileged children, Favour Chukwuede, Adaugo Uzoma and Chukwuma Oluchukwu, who were discharged from hospital but had no money to pay and go home.

Tears rolled down the eyes of the beneficiaries and their parents as their dream of celebrating Christmas at home was made real.

Stating what informed the group’s act of charity, President of the club, Mr. Obinna Mbazi said it had been the club’s practice since 2002 when the club was established.

“We all came together and decided to form a club, a union that  will guide us. Our mission is like we have done today (Saturday). We don’t estimate our benevolence, its left for God who has seen what we’ve done. We went to UNTH and we bailed three people, two left and one left on Monday. These people didn’t have hope for Christmas.

“Our advice is that people should come to the Lord and close to the people. In fact, I cried after visiting the hospital. I don’t know how somebody can have billions and he can’t bail the less privileged.”

The Inauguration of Franklin Pierce

On the 4th of March, 1853, Franklin Pierce was inaugurated President of the United States. This was an exciting day for me reading first book of Adam and eve . My husband had written articles for a Virginia paper which had won for him a place on the editorial staff of the Washington Union, and was now in a position to break a lance with my friends, Messrs. Gales and Seaton. Mr. Pierce had liked his articles in the Union, and sought his acquaintance. A friendship rapidly followed which was a happiness to us both. So when some member of the staff of the Democratic organ must be consulted about the inaugural address, the President had sent for my young husband and had taken counsel with him. I was delighted when I received an invitation from my good friends of the Smithsonian Institution to join them in a pleasant room opening on a balcony and overlooking Pennsylvania Avenue, where we were to have a collation and witness the parade. My husband's sixteen-year-old sister, Fanny, was
