Queen Stephanie shows love to little boy on Valentine, gifts him notebooks, sport wear & cash.

Everyone has a way of celebrating Valentine, for me humanity comes first. 
Tuesday, February 13th, 2024 at about 5pm, I met a little boy selling pure water, I bought one pure water from him and without asking him anything, he started, "I am selling this pure water, I want to buy note books with the profit, I have two note books only, I don't write most of the times when others are writing in school, so I will buy books with the profit from the pure water", I smiled at him, wondering in my mind, how many bags of pure water he will sell and for how long will he sell pure water. So, I asked him his name, school and class. He gave his name as "Wisdom Kennedy, a pupils of Urhapele primary school, in Sapele local government area, primary 4b". I told him that, I would bring note books the next day to his school. I knew the cost of one note book, and the profit from a bag of pure water, buying note books from such profit would take months.
Today, February 14th, 2024, I visited the school and met him during lunch break, I presented the books to him and he was very happy. He was on his school uniform, while others wore different colors of sport wear. I asked why he was not on his sport wear like his class mate, since Wednesday was for sport wear , he told me that his aunt whom he lives with, had not bought for him. I immediately paid for it and he was given his sport wear, he was in red house, so he got a red vest. He was smiling with so much joy. His class mate gathered around him, they were very happy for him. They joined him in his photograph. I gave him little money for snacks. He was more elated. I left the school feeling fulfilled, my valentine was complete, I was able to show love to a little boy on a day of love.
For me, buying ice cream, eating fried chicken and rice were secondary, but showing love for the sake of humanity was primary.
