“At Alexander Mercy Foundation, this is a time to reach out to those who are vulnerable and under privileged. Government cannot do it all, so private initiatives like this will go a long way to put smiles on the faces of people. I want to thank all the members of my team for making today a successful one.”

Commending health workers for their heroism in the face of the pandemic that has dispatched hundreds of thousands to their early graves, Alexander continued: “I also want to use this opportunity to thank our health workers for their hard work and dedication especially at this time of the pandemic. They have done a great job, and here is saying a big thank you to them.”
