An armless female orphan who uses her toes for activities gets a newly built, furnished bungalow in Anambra (photos)

  

 A 21-year old armless lady, Ada Aniwetalu, who hails from Nteje Community of Oyi LGA in Anambra state has been gifted a newly built three-bedroom bungalow and a scholarship award by a church.

The young lady who was born without arms is fully determined to pull through the rigours of life with the aid of her legs and didn't allow her disability to deny her of a brighter future. 

She does not only walk with her legs, she also writes and does domestic chores required of humans with her toes.

And this caught the eyes of a reverend sister who offered her a hand of help through the Metropolitan Archbishop of Onitsha Ecclesiastical Province.

Touched by her story, His Grace, Archbishop Valerian Okeke rallied other good-spirited individuals and gifted Ada a fully-furnished, newly built bungalow with a scholarship.

In a recent interview, a correspondent, Victor Duru, Chancellor of Onitsha Ecclesiastical Archidiocese Rev. Fr. Emeka Aror who spoke on behalf of the Archbishop narrated what motivated the gesture.

He said: "The Archbishop was even surprised that his charitable deed leaked to the media because he wanted to do all those things secretly. He never wanted anybody to know and so he is not comfortable at all it leaked to the media.

We didn't call any media house on the day the house was opened, maybe private individuals who came used their phones to take pictures and then made their reports.

"The Archbishop says this is a charity he did for what he believes in. You don't do charity and begin to publicize it. I remember the Bible says, "let your left hand not know what your right hand is doing".

"This is the principle of the Archbishop and as such he is indisposed to discussing it with any media neither do I.

"We also need to protect the privacy of this young girl - the young girl which he decided to help."

Now, Ada Aniwetalu has a fully-furnished roof over her head and can go on to pursue her educational aspiration and live her dream. She is now under the custody of the Archbishop.
