A few weeks ago, we featured the 50th birthday party of Miss Nigeria 1979 – Helen Prest-Ajayi. It was a glamorous and fabulous affair with celebrities and socialites dressed to the nines.
Its fun to see these fab images and chat about ‘who wore what’. However, its really great to see the other side of things. On the continent that we live in, there are so many that are in need and as much as we enjoy our lives and celebrate our successes, it is truly great when we look beyond ourselves.
Helen Prest-Ajayi did just that! An auction was held during her birthday soiree – The donors/auction winners were Hollywood actor Adewale Akinnuoye Agbaje and Olorogun Oskar Ibru  and a total sum of N1.6m was raised for The Children Development Centre; a facility headed by Dr Yinka Akindayomi that helps develop physically and mentally challenged children and young adults’ to participate effectively in society.
