The TLF whatsapp group actually started since 27th November 2016.
We have other channels, physical, print and electronic media.
There have been many challenging times and times of turning back for a couple of people.
One major problem was the direction of TLF.
One major question people ask and I'm almost tired of answering, with examples, words and pictures is "what is TLF about?"
One more time-
Tina Love Foundation (TLF) is an offshoot of what I did for 9 years between 1996 and 2005, giving because I was given and I had to give. We all give in fantastic ways every minute and every day. Sometimes deliberately, out of our ways or spontaneously. I learnt to give from many situations, people and programmes.
By January 1st 2005 I asked God what He wanted me to do about what I was doing. I was given a mission, vision, theme and a verse. But had no team.
Mission- to inspire, motivate and encourage people in ways that lead them to their God given life's purpose.
Vision- in order to see the society more sensible, sensitive and loving.
Theme- the ultimate law is love.
Verse- better to put your trust in God than in princes and kings (man) Psalm 118:8
By August 27th 2010 TLF was registered at the Corporate Affairs Commission. Now by law, TLF is different and stands independent of its Founder. It's now a legal entity capable of doing its own thing. When TLF gives its the collective effort, donation and intention of its trustees, friends and donors. If Tina has what she wants to give its her personal doing not TLF.
Sadly many people do not appreciate the difference and the set up of the Foundation. TLF is not Tina. Tina has no love of her own. Love is of God. Anyone running a Charity, NGO or Foundation of self and does not ascribe the work to God is purely concerned with people's welfare, and the alleviation of suffering without nothing more. But in TLF it's not just feeding the 5000 but letting them He the Source of Life and Good- God Almighty. What shall it profit us if we gain/save the world and lose our souls? Clothes, food, water and education are all fleeting no matter how good.
Now TLF is left with 2 broad duties, these are to provide CHARITY to the needy (not just the poor, but anyone in a particular situation of need) and SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT in making the society where we abide a better place.
How now? By giving in cash, kind, our talents on one hand. Also by influencing policies via media broadcasting, publications, seminars, film shows, and workshops. And on the other hand, through vocational training, empowerment, advocacy, counselling, and promotion of like-spirited groups.
What have we done since?
We have, we are and we will be
• visiting prisons, remand homes, hospitals, schools, orphanages, physically and mentally challenged centres, among others.
• distribute books, devotionals, CDs, DVDs, tracts, comics and Bibles.
• published in journals, attended conferences and participated in government and private organised seminars on issues of charity and social development.
• raised funds for people in hospital, UTMExaminations, among others.
• paste posters/notices in several places to create awareness on several issues as well as set up a notice board at a private university as a template for other schools.
• re-distribute clothes, shoes, bags, books, money, among things from benefactors to beneficiaries, TLF being the channel.
• established a temporary centre to provide library, music school, sports centre, arts and crafts class, group circle and counselling centre, filmshow and seminar hub, among others.
TO GOD BE ALL PRAISE, GLORY AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
