This is an initiative of my late father, to put smile on the faces of needy children most especially those in the rural communities, by providing them with food, clothes, educational materials and money at the of every year. Since my father’s demise in 2019, I decided not to let this project stop looking the kind joy it brings these less privileged. Therefore, my wife and I have taken it upon ourselves to continue with this project with a very limited resources available to me.
