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.

Theme Bible Verses

Matthew 12:34 You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 37 for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." 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 ...
