The theme for the month was #NonViolence with emphasis on October 2nd which is the UN day set aside to address issues of violence which cuts across various facets of the society- home, office, school, streets and among nations, and so on.
We focused on the issue of violence at home on our Facebook page but however on our WhatsApp group and Twitter we focused on the issue of police brutality and lent our voice and stand on the #EndSARS issue.With the resumption of school, we paid a scheduled visit to one of the public primary schools we are providing for and participating in their SBMC. We were given a list of needs for the schools generally, the staff and then the students.We drew our list and have started sending out letters for fund raising for our permanent Centre, TLF Van and for the school needs among our various financial needs.
Asides money we will be happy to receive the items as our brother Ifeanyi did some time ago. So the items are-
1. Locks for the classroom doors and windows (and payment of carpentar)
2. 25 chairs (plastic or wooden) for the teachers
3. Tables
4.Buckets, hand sanitisers, covid19 instruction & awareness charts
5. Packets of Coloured Chalks for blackboards
6. Packet of makers for whiteboards
7. Teaching aid charts
8. School sandals for those who can't afford
9. 60 leaves exercise books (as textbooks have been freely supplied by the government and shared -we saw this with our eyes)
10. Packets of biros, pencils, erasers, sharpeners, school bells, wristwatch for the time keeper and small cloth bags for the pupils who don't have bags
11. Drawing books as it is our desire to teach these pupils art as it's not part of their syllabus.
12. Bibles as they are not taught CRS, ethics, civics or history. How will they receive moral instructions?
13. Lastly, support for their extra-curricular activities which include inter house sports. They've been informed that TLF will give free chairs (for adults and children) as part of our contribution (this was what we decided last year November when we (the PTA, School, SBMC and TLF) were planning against 2020).
You too can walk with us and support us financially-
