HUG celebrates her annual December Community Outreach.
Help, Understanding and Guidance Foundation hosts its annual December Outreach tagged LOVE and LIGHT. As we have done since 2018, the theme of the event is basically a reflection of the highlight of the year.
In Nigeria, 2020 was a tough year for everyone. The breakout of the deadly coronavirus pandemic held the country’s economy hostage, a particularly distressing point in the lives of Nigerians who live in rural communities.
This informed our decision to serve as an array of light to those Nigerians during these tough times, to show them we empathize with them and will do what we can to help.
Unlike past outreaches that centered on children of local communities, this year the difference was our ability to bring the whole community together. We highlighted basic human physiological needs and concluded that they deserve food, water and rest most of all, given the distress and trauma a very difficult year has had on them.
Our intent was to serve as an escape from their reality and to be jolly and merry all day. Our evaluation was that we achieved this, with the telling smiles and words of prayers and gratitude from the residents of Ishabiyi Community, Moniya Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.
To the committee members and everyone who made sourcing clothes, food and other resources possible, we appreciate you all. We will do more; let us do more.
