The Principal of the school, Mrs. Ronke Adeniyi, presented the money on behalf of the school to the Foundation for the Care and Rehabilitation of the Mentally Ill (CAREMI) in Ile-Ife.
Reports say that Prof. Rogers Makanjuola, former OAU Vice Chancellor, established the foundation 10 years ago to assist patients with mental problems.
She appealed to corporate bodies, institutions and the rich to always extend hands of fellowship to the poor and physically-challenged members of society.
Adeniyi expressed the need to help the less-privileged to reduce their pains and create an enabling environment for them to survive economic hardships.
She said the donation was to demonstrate Makanjuola’s philanthropic efforts.
Prof. David Ijalaye (SAN), Chairman, CAREMI Board of Trustee, who received the donation, expressed gratitude to the school, saying the board would utilise the fund judiciously.
