International Food Day provides food for thought

SOS children last week took the opportunity of the International Food Day to share whatever little they have with other needy individuals specifically those under the umbrella of ALPHA -PLUS, an organization of people living with HIV/AIDS.

  • For underprivileged
    children, the orphans and those suffering from HIV-AIDS, the International Food Day is very important as we become one thing,
    Very few among us were lucky enough to being cared for in special centres and orphanages. we appeal to local residents to remember us in deeds and prayers.

    This is a good opportunity to share ideas on how we can serve underprivileged youths properly.
    Most orphanages and local children centres are just starting thus needing more support and assistance. This occasion is extremely important to us parents, children and those in charge of children centres.

    It was quite heart warming to see the delegation from our SOS counterparts visiting us. We enjoyed their presence, prizes and they made us feel like needed members of the society despite our parents’ deaths.

    Food is very important to all human beings, but it is even more important for people to observe the international food day in remembering and assisting children living with hunger.

    We therefore appeal to all good citizens to assist underprivileged children with food, clothing and other commodities and by doing so, God will also bless them.
