Mark the dates

In line with our theme New Beginning we invite you to mark the following dates this year when we would be carrying out activities on acts of charity and social development.
January is our month if charity and social development!

On the 19th of August is World Humanitarian Day (we recommend you watch “Which country does the most good for the world” by Simon Anholt).

On the 5th of September is International Day of Charity (we recommend you watch “Want to make a difference? Don't Work for a Charity” by William MacAskill).

The 16th of October is World Food Day (we recommend you watch “The global food waste scandal” by Tristram Stuart).

The 17th of October is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (we recommend you watch “The good news on poverty (Yes, there's good news)” by Bono).

The 24th of October is the United Nations (we recommend you watch “Our priorities for saving the world” by Bjorn Lomborg).

On the 10th of November is the World Science Day for Peace and Development (we recommend you watch “Eye in the Sky”).

On the 5th of December is the International Volunteer Day for Economic and Social Development (we recommend you watch “Making Charity Fun” by Jehan Ratnatunga).

While 10th of December is Human Rights Day (we recommend you watch “Cyberbully”).

UNITED NATIONS
There are days observed by the United Nations. The United Nations designates specific days, weeks, years and decades as occasions to mark particular events or topics in order to promote, through awareness and action, the objectives of the Organization. Usually, it is one or more Member States that propose these observances and the General Assembly establishes them with a resolution. On occasion, these celebrations are declared by the specialized agencies of the United Nations, such as UNESCO, UNICEF, FAO, etc., when they concern issues that fall within the scope of their competencies. Some of them may be later adopted by the General Assembly.

Why are these days important to us even as early as January? This is because these days play a role in adding to the sum total of our Aim and Objectives in TLF.

Therefore, our work throughout the year will reflect some UN days as well as other memorable days, birthdays and remembrances.

Join us on such designated days to spread love.

Theme Bible Verses

Matthew 12:34 You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil?

Proverbs 16:28 A perverse man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends. Proverbs 17: 9 He who forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter alienates a friend. Leviticus 19:16 You shall not go up and down as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not stand forth against the life of your neighbour: I am the LORD. Proverbs 26:20 For lack of wood the fire goes out; and where there is no whisperer, quarrelling ceases. 22 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body. Proverbs 11:13 He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing hidden. Psalms 34:13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit. Charles For: Frien...

Our TLF 2 Day Event

Our TLF 2 Day Event started on Thursday and ended yesterday Friday. We had the person of Mrs Ishioma Francis who came to share good news with the children. We had Art competition and prizes were given. We had spelling bee and gifts were given. We had skipping competition and gifts were given. We had recitation of poems originally written by the children and gifts were given. We also used the opportunity to remind everyone of our theme for August. We shared our drinks and biscuits and everyone had a nice time. The children interacted and had a nice time. It came to a happy end and everyone went back home safely. We look forward to more activities such as these. We thank God for the success and blessings. God bless all those who contributed in various ways. Remember that, the ultimate law is love. TLF

Did You Know?

Creativity comes from God the Creator and He has given us pro-creative abilities in different areas to make the world a better place and provide works of charity. In TLF we are big on arts, crafts and creativity. We celebrate creativity. Many people have been able to support charitable causes from creative art exhibitions and sales. Many others have also used their creative works to raise awareness on various laudable causes for social development. Take for instance in our theme for this month, we have selected some creative art works that will help pass our message to us in an artistic way. Also in our Centre, we host children who often come just to draw and make things from recycled materials. We strongly invite you to like our facebook page - TLF Creativity. We also share and retweet such creativity on our X handle that we also invite you to like and share. Our various artworks in TLF add to the posters we paste around and the comics we also produce and share out. Join our facebook ...
