One of the key functions of Grace Obomanu Foundation is to conduct outreaches to Communities, Charities and Groups of needy people. Our outreach to Badamia Home was both inspiring and rewarding.
Badamia is home to about 20 boys (and young men) who were picked off the street as orphans. The Home, a non-governmental organization located in the city of Port Harcourt Nigeria has been housing and rehabilitating vulnerable children providing not just accommodation but also education, social support, and vocational trainings. In partnership with other groups, the Home has helped several young men become detoxified, educated, working in paid employment, while others make a living from skills acquired from the Home.
On the 17th of October 2021, Grace Obomanu Foundation visited Badamia Home for an outreach.
During our visit, we taught and discussed the Word of God with the young men. We gave every child a bible and an evangelistic tract. We shared cooked food to everyone (staff and children), and we dropped some foodstuffs for the Home. It was a very rewarding experience.
We found Badamia boys and young men to be brilliant and intellectually sound. They were bold, confident and well-mannered. They nicely shared their views on some scriptures as well.
The young men took turns to thank us not only for the gifts that we brought them but with emphasis on the fact that we considered them important enough to come and spend time talking and listening to them. This left us with deep appreciation for the work that the administration is doing. The staff were warm, welcoming and courteous.
I am looking forward to future visits to this Home when we can find time to engage the boys on their future plans and aspirations.
If you have ever considered mentoring or supporting a child through school or some form of skills acquisition, I strongly recommend Badamia Home boys. Please reach me using information on my contact page.
I am deeply THANKFUL to all those that supported this Outreach financially and otherwise. May God bless and reward you abundantly. And I am thankful to the Foundation Team for their hardwork and commitment towards the success of this Outreach.
