On Friday August 15th ( Feast of our Blessed Mother), there was private family prayer and Mass at the graveside of our icon Ijeoma Cynthia. 

Mass and prayers were conducted by Fr Donlaw Ezike.

Let us continue to remember her in our prayers.

For today the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad.

Exactly today was the burial of our icon Ijeoma.

Let us keep her in our prayers.

A brief meeting was held by board members of the foundation on the 3rd of November, after the Thanksgiving mass. The essence of the meeting was to discuss the plans to put in place concerning the upcoming seminar fixed tentatively for the 23rd of November, 2013. Some of the Issues discussed include, communicating with resource persons who are stakeholders in the medical and health sectors, as regards giving the lectures at the seminar, creating awareness through flyers and posters, and issuing invitation to the public, through the media, after all plans have been finalized. Stay tuned as further details on this seminar would be given as time progresses. Let us work together to touch lives as we bring about positive change. Contributions & Ideas from members on moving the Foundation forward are also welcome.

A memorial thanksgiving mass was held on Sunday 3rd of November @ Our Lady Seat of Wisdom, Okota, Lagos, in honour of our beloved icon & to mark the 1 year remembrance. The mass was attended by some foundation members, family, friends and well wishers. We pray the Almighty Father to grant her eternal rest in His Bossom and to give us the strength to carry on the legacies which she left behind. 

Its unbelievable that today(October 30th 2012) marks the 1 yr anniversary of the passing to glory of our beloved icon.

Just as everyone remembers, she is just fresh in our memory, and she lives on.
This is transformation.

Let us take note from the book of Ecclesiastes 3:1-11

1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: 2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; 3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace. 9 What gain has the worker from his toil? 10 I have seen the business that God has given to the sons of men to be busy with. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time; also he has put eternity into man's mind, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

Let us arise and work for mankind.

The Ijeoma Cynthia Uduji Foundation will like to remind us that this month will be the 1st anniversary of the passing on of our icon, Ijeoma.

Let us use this month to do good to our neighbours.

We need all of you to continue the good work, and tell us what good you have done in her spirit.
