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-

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...

Why Do You Smoke?

6 personalized approaches to quitting forever.  Everyone smokes—and quits—for different reasons, and the key to getting smoke-free for life is to find out why you are smoking and then change those behaviors. If you are a Recreational or Social Smoker, you may feel that your limited smoking poses no serious medical harm to yourself or others. You may, however, ignore warning signs that your occasional smoking is progressing into addiction, especially during periods of stress or increased alcohol use. A periodic review of these warning signs may help motivate you to consider becoming smoke-free. The Scared-to-Quit Smoker has no end of reasons (excuses) to put off going smoke-free to some future date. Sometimes it helps to focus on just quitting for one day. If you can quit for a day, you can quit every day. This realization can be a great confidence builder, and helps to decrease your fears about not smoking “ever again.” Forever is too big a word for many addicts; thus the old adage...
