We set out from Sweet Sensation Fast Food, Ketu, at 10.45am after waiting endlessly for other members of the visit who promised to attend but failed to show up.
In less than ten minutes, we were at the TREASURE OF LOVE MOTHERLESS BABIES’ HOME, DEMURIN ROAD, KETU, managed by Sisters of Mother Theresa, We were welcomed by Sister M. Lilly MC. She took our brief and quickly took us round the home; she explained they presently accommodate 62 people, mainly children with a few teenagers. The children had varying forms of challenges, mainly mental and physical. Majority of them are physically fit without challenges. The home is open for adoption, we were told.
She explained they also have abandoned babies with various challenges including HIV infection, but we can’t see them until they are 2 yrs old. In all we were taken round to see different accommodation as provided for residents of the home. The home is headed by Sir. Danie MC (Superior) who was not around during our visit. A glimpse of the parent organisation's work is available on www.motherteresa.org We were cautioned against taking pictures of the scenes, but we managed to take a few shots for Naijapals diary.
In under 2hrs, our visit to the first home was over, and we set out for the second home; SOS CHILIDREN’S VILLAGE, ISOLO. Beside Lagos State Polytechnic.
We arrived the SOS Children’s Village, Isolo just before the scheduled appointment time of 1.30pm, welcomed by the Home secretary.... he took our brief and asked us to wait for the Father of the home, Mr. Inusa – Ahmed Anthony who also doubles as the Director.
SOS Isolo, is a fairly expansive facility for abandoned children and they currently accommodate close to 120 children under 16 years. Father Anthony gave a brief history of the home also available on www.sosvillages-nigeria.org . Quite a serene environment for children though abandoned, but they enjoy comparable facilities as available in uptown Lagos. The children are indeed well taken care of in this centre.
SOS Isolo accommodates children without deformities. When asked, the head of the home answered that they do have other centres where children with challenges are catered for. They also have adjoining classrooms, sick-bay, vocational centre and sporting facilities for use exclusively for the children.
Again we were cautioned against the use of cameras on the facility, but we took permission to take a few for our diary.
In all, the visits were a success and we earned commendation for the endeavor. We feel fulfilled with the joy evident on the faces of those we met, and shared 'NAIJAPAL'S package’ with.
