Popular Nollywood actress Monalisa
Chinda paid a charity visit to the
Kirikiri Prison, Apapa, Lagos on
September 15, 2013, Sunday. The visit
lasted for several hours.
The Nollywood star donated various
items including food stuff, clothes,
underwear, toiletries, perfume bottles
and sanitary provisions, through her
Arise Monalisa Foundation.
The prison inmates were incredibly
happy to receive her, and the star did
not disappoint them, as she spent
enough time for interacting with them.
we may not be in control of what
happens to us in life, we are absolutely
responsible for our reactions to what
happens to us. And it is our reaction
that ultimately determines the results
and quality of our lives. On getting here
today, I was told some inmates were
recently released by strange
interventions, so this can’t be the end
for you,” Monalisa encouraged the
audience.
As some prisoners wept, Monalisa
further said “I want you to know that
there is more to your life than your
present state and, no matter what
anyone has said to you, there is hope
for you.”
According to star’s aide, the inmates
were not allowed to be photographed,
but they had a great time bonding with
the actress.
It would be noted that during the last
week, which also marked her birthday,
Monalisa also visited the Patrick Speech
& Languages School in Lagos which
cares for autistic children and made
donations there.
