"I am not insensitive and ignorant of the times we are in. Many have died from the spread of the deadly Pandemic COVID-19 so why a party? It is my duty as a patriotic citizen to protect and inform the public through my Platform Africa Literacy Development Initiative, the flagship Program of Victoria Michaels Foundation.

The funds that would have gone into organizing a party has been donated towards the production of more masks for those in the deprived communities and this makes me proud of myself," she said.

Adding that "So far, donations and contributions have been made towards the production of about 81,200 Nose Masks out of which 48,750 has been distributed already.
