21st of May is World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. 

21st of May is World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. 

Why should we mark this day?

International days like this are occasions to educate the public on issues of concern, to mobilise political will and resources to address global problems, and to celebrate and reinforce achievements of humanity. 

The existence of international days predates the establishment of the United Nations, but the UN has embraced them as a powerful advocacy tool. There are also days not designated by U.N. which we in TLF commemorate all the same.

In our theme of #Solidarity highlighting issues of Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development is key.

Just as we are discussing the issue of the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, we must also seek ways we can use our cultural diversity for development, this we can do by continuous dialogue and yes, action.

I personally represent 4 distinct tribes in Nigeria and I am always open to dialogue about cultural diversity among my relations and among others who also come from families with multiple tribes.

Our diversity should be our unique strength for development.

Remember our aim in TLF is for charity and social development.

Any work of charity that we engage in must end in development.

We must not just do things for fun, to mark calendars, to pass time, for eye service, to fill our resumes and for show!


Let us discuss the Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination today.

Theme Bible Verses

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 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 ...
