2nd Week Of Festive Season
Schools are closed, parents are busy hustling and we here ensure that our children are safe and sound. We are pleased to have the numbers increase every Saturday... From 200 to 406 today.....
We are grateful to the donors and volunteers who have dedicated their resources and time to engaging the children in various activities to ensure that learning and entertainment continue.
This school holiday shall extend all the way to around late January and it's almost 2 weeks since schools were closed. This means that they are going to be at home for relatively 2 months. It is for this reason among others that we shall soon introduce other programs for the children to further engage them in music and art. In this program, we look forward to teaching them how to play, and perform some African Cultural dances and musics.
It is during this time that we shall as well launch the ETCO Computer center to help in sharpening their computer skills.
We are looking forward to a very interactive month and season.

Early Lunch at ETCO
Diving deeper into the year with our children feeding program, yesterday's session at ETCO was filled with warmth, laughter, and nourishment. With the dedicated efforts of our team and the new interns, we ensured that over 350 children, along with elderly and youth members of the community, received a well-prepared meal. The presence of the interns brought fresh energy and enthusiasm, giving us hope for expanded children’s activities and engagement. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to ensuring that no child in our community goes hungry, and that every Saturday is a moment of joy and connection.
