Another kid saved

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that an 18-year-old Nigerian boy, Adeoye Fawaz, who worked as a bus conductor to survive and has been living under the bridge all his life finally had a turnaround.

The turnaround was made possible by Tunde who has used the game of chess to give new meanings to many lives.

Fawaz will not be the only one whose life the NGO has changed. Many months ago, Tunde's encounter with a boy with cerebral palsy seized media attention.
