CHRISTAIN (OUR ORPHAN) LEARNS A TRADE

This is Christain and his boss.  History was made on the 6th of June 2015 as the team of Splendour Vintage Heights Foundation (also known as The Rural People) did the official signing of the agreement between them and the management of this welding company on the behalf of  Christain Deezua (an orphan from Sii community in Bara, Gwara) in Bori, Rivers State. Beside the signing and paying the fee for the agreement, the rural people also provided Christain with Safety Helmet, hand gloves, safety glasses and canvass shoe.  That particular date was intentionally chosen as it coincided with the birthday date of our live-matron Mrs. Emah Ekpo.
One of our partners Fr. Peter Isidore prayed for Christain and his boss before handing over the money for his training. On behalf of our donors, partners and everyone at the rural people, we wish Christain success in this career and we also call for more people to get involved in what we are doing at the rural people so that you can help another orphan learn a trade.

Today, lots of people prefer to do charity than being committed in partnering to improve people's standard of living.  Community development does not only improve the lives of others around us but also helps to improve ours as partners.  https://attackpoverty.org/2011/charity-vs-development/ The following table according to Cooperative Baptist Fellowship best describe the differences between charity and community development.

WHERE IS THE LOVE

As the world celebrates 'global day of parents' on the1st of June every year, I cant help but wonder what the same world thinks about those who are living and growing without having the experience of what a mother/father relationship is.  These are people who are constantly reminded by caregivers that they are not their parents and should therefore be grateful for whatever attempt they make in providing food, shelter, clothing and security which forms the basic needs of every human being. The task of caring for someone else in ones real poor state is a huge one and huge(er) is even the task of trully caring in the real sense of the word 'care'.  Then, the real issue is what could be the experience of a child who lives with people that present themselves as "foster parents" but are not parents in any sense of it.  i just hope these children will grow up and become parents than the people they see and live with today. The role of a foster parent according
