ABIRIBA CHARITY EVENT
On December 18th, 2024, the Goodness and Mercy Foundation embarked on a heartfelt journey to the Agboji Community School in Abiriba, Nigeria. Our mission for the day was to uplift and support the vibrant spirit of the students, and we arrived armed with an array of school supplies to brighten their educational experience. Each child received a colorful package filled with pencils, sturdy backpacks, cheerful t-shirts, and invigorating soccer uniforms designed to inspire teamwork and joy.
As we approached the school, we were greeted by a chorus of children's voices, their smiles wide and eyes sparkling with excitement. The students lined the pathway, singing joyful melodies, their energy palpable, creating an atmosphere of warmth and welcome. Throughout the day, they put on delightful performances, showcasing their talents and creativity, their gratitude shining through every note and dance move. With kind words and a beaming smile, the headmaster expressed their appreciation for our visit, highlighting the impact of our support.
After the enchanting performances, we began distributing the school supplies, witnessing the students' eager faces light up with joy as they received their gifts. It was a day filled with laughter, connection, and shared hope, a true celebration of community and the power of giving back.
Special thank you to our family and board members who helped coordinate the uniforms and school supplies, and those who attended this event in person with the students.
