On Sunday, September 4, 2016 has been an indelible
mark in the life of the humanitarian Bisong Foundation. This is because
Bisong Foundation has successfully completed its first outing in
Cameroon to bring smiles to the faces of the underprivileged. This
honour was given to the Children's Home “Hope AGAPE” which is an
orphanage founded in 2009 by a Christian couple John Jonas and ADJI in
order to help the abandoned and disadvantaged children. This family now
has nearly thirty (30) children aged three to twenty years in school.
We were welcomed by the house nurse “Mama Mado” followed by introduction
of members. We started the session by singing religious songs to put
the spirits of the children in a festive mood. We were then led in
prayers by Princess one of the children of the orphanage under the
coordination of the Secretary.
The Executive President explained to the
host and children the purpose of our visit followed by presentation of
gifts.
After presentation of gifts, we continued the session with songs of
praises to give thanks to God almighty for giving Bisong Foundation the
opportunity to put smiles on the faces of these innocent children.
Nothing more than satisfaction could easily be read on their faces as
they set their eyes on their beautiful gifts.
At the end, we to ok individual, and group photos and also conducted
interviews. The executive President thanked the host and praised the
children for their warmed welcome as the visit came to a close with a
prayer from the house nurse.
The following gifts were presented to the orphanage;
- Food; rice, spaghetti, milk, biscuits, cooking oil, butter, sugar, hot
chocolate.
- Soft drinks
- School supplies; exercise books, notebooks, slates, chalks, erasers,
rulers, pens, and pencils.
- Cleaning products; washing liquid and soap.
We left around 18:30 with great satisfaction and confident to have
achieved our noble task; in hope and desire to have given a wonderful
day and start of a new school year to these children, whilst praying to
God to give Bisong Foundation the means to continue providing for the
underprivileged.
Bisong Foundation feels that giving to those in need can be turned into
powerful lessons that teach compassion, empathy, and meaning to the
underprivileged.
Congratulations and long live to Bisong Foundation...
