As part of activities marking the festive season celebration, the Dr. Theophilus N. Sonpon Memorial Educational Foundation gathered hundreds of children from Caldwell and its surroundings during Christmas.
On Christmas Eve, the Foundation gathered kids at its head office in Caldwell at a well-attended children’s party.
Giving the overview, the Secretary of the Foundation, Christopher Johns, narrated that the organization is always concerned about children and thought of extending its hands to them during Christmas.
He said the gesture was intended not only to have the kids eating and celebrating but also teaching them good disciplines among other things that give glory to God.
He encouraged the kids to be involved with positive thing all throughout this festive season that will bring life changing opportunities to them and their respective families.
The organizers of the children party educated the kids on the essence of having Christmas cautioning them to exhibit good moral attitudes during the observation of such day.
The kids were thought bible stories in connection to the birth and life of Jesus Christ who almost all the speakers referred to as ‘the reason for the season and the man of Christmas.’
According to the parents who escorted their kids, some praised the Dr. Theophilus N. Sonpon Foundation for the usual conduct of charitable events that are contributing immensely to their wellbeing through food and other donations to the children community.
They urged their children to properly use the opportunities afforded them through the Foundation because the Chief Executive Officer and other partners will only be pleased to continue contribution to a successful endeavor.
The Dr. Theophilus N. Sonpon Memorial Educational Foundation aimed at catering to the needs of children was founded by Cynthia Gbardee Sonpon Oduwole in honor of a veteran educator, a former Minister of Education Dr. Theophilus N. Sonpon.
With a feeding program, the Foundation is currently feeding at least hundred kids every second and fourth Saturday of each month and is seeking assistance from well-meaning individuals and humanitarian.
