It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” Mother T-eresa.
I have always believed that it is more blessed to give than to receive and I've come to the understanding that a source never run dries. It is another season of celebration as the Easter is coming closer, and how do we intend to celebrate it ? Such a memorable day should be celebrated with not just friends and families but also the needy in our society. There are some who do not have shelter not to even mention how they starve for days, this is so sad.
Among the needy in our society are a group of persons recognised as the Internally Displaced People in the society, these are victims of communism crisis and political insurgence. They loose their homes and sometimes loved ones. It is really a sad experience what these people go through and what they need most is to know that there are still people out there who cares about them.
We first embarked on this project on Valentine's Day, A VALENTINE WITH HEAVENS DATE14th April, 2018. And this is the second time now that we are going out to offer help to these people buying them some of the necessary things that they do require to get a healthy living. Some of which include food stuffs, clothing materials, toiletries and some educational materials for the children.
We are using this opportunity to call out for supporters who will love to offer help to these people as we make a plan to visit IDP camp here in Abuja, Nigeria on the 31st of March, 2018. This people need our help, be it cash, foodstuffs, used clothes etc whatever you can offer would be greatly appreciated. I'm not doing this because I stand to gain anything, no I'm doing it because I want to be part of the solution.
PROPOSED EXPENSE REVIEW
10 TINS OF Bevrages = 12,500
2 Bags of Rice = 35,000
20 Tubers of Yam = 12,000
Medical Kits = 20,000
Usee Clothes = 15,000
Toiletries = 5,500
Total = 100,000
NB: 1sbd sells for 600 at the time of writing this post, as such a 166 SBD is needed.
Selfless services can also be rendered with little or no monetary expense but will only require persons from different field of specialization. A medical practitioner can adhere into the medical unit, providing one more helping hand and some special skill that might be needed in cases of emergency. And also a farmer who harvest his products at the end of the season can offer a part of it as when the helping hands increase, the mouth fed will be filled.
The need of education is not left out as volunteers can offer to teach the children who would be happy to once again go back to their learning days, these children like you and I would love to read and write, speak and understand. They do not want to be left behind but how can they be carried along side if no one offers an helping hand? Teachers can visit these children and and impact into them knowledge and information that they may not be ignorant of the little things they ought to know. The parents and other adults are not left out as in one way or the other, just a word or two possibly could enlighten them on things they Know not about. Just being present with these IDP's will cheer them up even if it may last for the moment, the memories will grow with them as they age building a mindset that the people out there does truly care.

You may wonder of where possibly can one find these IDP camps, well here in Abuja they're located in four different location in Lugbe, Area One, New Kuchingoro and Kuje, choosing to visit these places to express the feeling of love will be considered as a choice well made, as you will be able to manage to put a smile on the face of the people. We visited the one at Area1 the last time and now we will be visiting the one at Lugbe to take some items there as much as I can pending on what I have and what help I also receive.
While the government gives it's best to bring back peace to the villages, towns, and cities these IDP once reside, we should make it a part of our responsibility to lend a helping hand in the best way we can not forgetting that the little they have now come from donations made by churches, NGO, private individuals and also the government organized programmes. If we all come together to offer the little we have, we will be able to evocate a smile upon their faces again, we might bring joy into their hearts again and most important we could stand out to be the answers to the prayers they have made during the night and day.
I am calling on the following people in no order and not limited to them only as every steemian to be a part of this giving challenge.
NOTE
EVERY PAYOUT ON THIS POST ALONG SIDE DONATIONS WOULD BE CHANNELED INTO THIS CAUSE.
So if you live in Abuja and would like to be a part of this movement kindly reach me on 08066896708.
