This project was mainly to provide School items to orphans in the Misspa Orphanage in Bamenda, Cameroon. But, we could not leave out bibles and a little bit of food stuff so the kids can eat and be satisfied while learning. Our budget was 206,000fcfa but we received 240,000fcfa from contributions and ended up spending 215,000fcfa in preparation for the visit and on the visit. Items were purchased by Caleb and Denning. This project was amazing and the first big project SMILES AFRICA has carried out. We had about 10 volunteers. The team arrived the orphanage at about 10am alongside CrystalBeauty Show a video company that helped to do our coverage. We carried out activities like bible quizzes, general knowledge,( these kids had extremely funny and amazing answers in the whole wide world) inspirational talks and also celebrated the birthdays of all those born in August with a birthday cake and snacks. We also awarded prizes like bibles, watches, t-shirts, bible story books to all those who gave right answers in the quiz sessions. Both members of SMILES AFRICA and the Orphanage exchanged words and talks about the orphanage and organization. Where a child got to say “they call it an orphanage but we call it home because it is so comfortable”. It was so amazing watching the children lead praise with their band as they welcomed and entertained us. The visit lasted about 4hours with joy overflowing. The team had snacks with the kids in their hall, took photos and departed. Each volunteer was given transport money. we thank God Almighty for the strength and blessings to do more.
