VISIT TO AN ORPHANAGE HOME IN MINNA-- Ulog Day1
This is my first #ulog and thanks to the man behind it @surpassinggoogle.
Today is one of my happiest day as I and two other great steemians @mickyscofield and @nancy007 visited the Government Orphanage Minna, here in Niger State of Nigeria. All thanks to @tarekadam who organised a contest of 500 steem to help people in need and @mickyscofield turned out to be one of the winners as seen in the link.
Introducing the winners of the 500 STEEM contest for projects that support people in need
We arrived the orphanage at some minutes after 3pm directly from the market were we went to get the food items. Below are the food items which comprised of half bag of rice, 4 cartons of indomi noodles, two cartons of dangote spaghetti and two pack of Star Maggi seasoning.
It was really a happy moment as the attendant on duty welcomed us to the orphanage and the joyful children came to welcome us as well. The orphanage has 26 children in the home but we were told that some of them were in school and that immediately corrected the impression I had, that those in the orphanages don't go to school but I got the shocker when I heard that some of them were in school.
We then presented the food stuffs we came with and the children took different postures to take pictures with us.
They were so careful and happy, the little boy I carried I was told is a cripple. Immediately I heard that, I was almost in tears seeing a little boy being an orphan and the same time a crippled child but his happy mood made me loose the ability to cry as he posed for me to take him some snapshots.
The little girl you see with him in the picture below wanted taking the first snapshots with the boy but he refused until I first took some snapshots of the boy before he allowed the girl to join him. I said wow, even taking of pictures was so precious to these orphans!
From there I went around to see the inner buildings of the orphanage and their bus
After which we made pose for some wonderful pictures individually.
