Has someone ever made a promise to you before and fulfill it, how did you feel?
Have you ever made a promise to someone before, how did you feel when you fulfill it?
In my opinion, the answer to the two questions above would be - HAPPINESS.
Yes, that was how I and the little girl above felt yesterday 30th May, 2024. Let me tell you how it happened.
Perhaps, you must have forgotten about her, but let me show you something that would remind you a little about her. Check the video below..., play it and fast forward it to 10:50 ..watch it till 13:34 timestamp of the video.
Also, do me another favour...
Forward the video to 14:54 timestamp, watch it till 16:35 timestamp.
Can you remember the girl now and why we both stood up there to take the picture on my cover page? 😀.....exactly!
So, finally their school is resuming on Monday next week which is 6th May, 2024. Presently, they are on vacation.
I decided to put that smile on her and her Mom's face yesterday as I paid her next term school fees which is fifteen thousand naira (#15,000) and that's approximately 42 Steem.
I called the head teacher last week to inform her that I would be visiting her school this week to fulfill my promise to that young girl.
I told her to invite the girl and her mum to the school, which she did. And the good thing happened.
That was a big relief to the mother as she is the one taking care of her and her other siblings. You and I know, it's not easy this time.., things are very deficult and it's not easy for families to survive in this part of the world.
I was so impress to see a young girl from a poor background like me with so much intelligence. I felt that, the right thing to do was to support and encourage her. That was why I paid her school fees yesterday.
If people like this are given opportunity like that, they can contribute more in the world.
Interestingly, the fund paid was from STEEM. Isn't it interesting that we all can do good things like this while promoting STEEM...? Obviously!
The joy, the happiness was priceless and satisfactory. I just can't explain the joy and happiness I had yesterday when I saw genuine smile and happiness coming from this mother and daughter. I love that feeling.
I hope to do more of this in the future, not as a project but as a little contribution to the society from my earnings. I need to see more of those smiles in around the world.
You too can do more of this..., not because you are rich and not because you are poor..., but because there is joy in giving, let's save our planet earth with good deeds.

Did you make any good promise to someone this year...? Go and fulfill it and experience the joy that comes from it.
