Sometime again in December 2015
TLF had its First Fund Rising and Awards Day.
We sent out invites and fund raising appeal letters.
We contracted caterers for snacks, and we bought the drinks.
We graciously got the Hall free courtesy of my mother's goodwill.
Jessica came with 2 special invitees, Pagha-iye came, Seger graciously did the work of an impromptu citation reader, Divine helped with the camera and I was the technician. 
Our Award recipients came with the exception of 2.
But 2 people I wish to mention here are Kristen and Somadina. 
I incorporated Kristen to help in the organisation and she invited her friend Somadina to help with the MC.
I believe a labourer deserves his wages and when I can't pay, I ask before work if the person will be willing to do it at no cost, so I don't owe, disappoint or end up borrowing to pay!
Somadina said we should pay anything!
He not only performed fantastically but he also helped in packing and arranging and doing other things for us in his suit.
We gave him an envelope at the end and without looking at it, he gave it back to us as his donation!
That's Somadina! 
I saw him again after then just last year and he told me he was passing through and had to stop in Benin because he just had an accident.
He said it so calmly and undisturbed by the incident, but just focused on continuing his journey.
That's Soma!
I just found out last week that it is his birthday today.
So I'm happy that though we do not see often, he has become part of our TLF story.
Join us as we celebrate Somadina on his birthday today.
I pray God blesses his new age and grant him higher heights in Jesus name, amen.

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...

Today is the second part of our D Day for the month of August!

Today is the second part of our D Day for the month of August! Although this celebration is marked in the month of May, we have harmonised all relevant sub-themes dealing with family and youth under this month of August.  15th of May is International Day of Families.  We commend all those individuals, groups, NGOs, Charities, Foundations and others who engage in one form of activity or the other to promote wholesome family life and the true meaning of family.  God bless your labour and work of love. May we not do anything in vain. Remember - Matthew 12:49 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, "Here are My mother and My brothers! Psalm 113:Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! You are invited to attend our viewing of - "Loneliness is literally killing us" by Will Wright at TEDxBirmingham . We commend the speaker and give kudos to the organisers. You too can organise such a wonderful event. In TLF we inspire...
