Our Heroes and Heroines



---------------------------
19th August
If Google could honour Dr Ameyo Adadevoh with a Google Doodle (a special, temporary alteration of the logo on Google's home pages) on her birthday, we should ask why many Nigerian Organisations and On-line platforms have not also celebrated this wonderful heroin of ours?
Dr Stella Ameyo Adadevoh was born on October 27th, 1956. “She is credited to have curbed a wider spread of the Ebola virus in Nigeria by placing the patient zero, Patrick Sawyer, in quarantine despite pressures from the Liberian government. She is known for preventing the Nigerian index case from leaving the hospital at the time of diagnosis, thereby playing a key role in curbing the spread of the virus in Nigeria.”
On August 4th 2014 it was confirmed that she had tested positive for the virus and she passed away on August 19th 2014.
We in our own way celebrate and remember Dr Stella Adadevoh.
We bought several of these hand-wash cups because they are connected with her legacy.

NOTE: God willing we would be having a viewing of the TED Talk presented by her son Bankole Cardoso titled “Patriotism and development” organised by TEDxJabi at our TLF Centre. Kindly send us a message on tinalovefoundation@gmail.com for reservations, inquiries and sponsorship. Thank you.

We neglected to discipline our children and called it 'building self esteem'. We have abused power and called it 'politics'. We have converted our neighbour's property and called it 'ambition'. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it 'freedom of expression'. We have ...

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.
