…AND THE ARROW HITS ITS TARGET!

Child Hero Empowerment Campaign (CHEC) team is always ready to give their best, when it comes to bringing out the best in the less privileged children (destitute and orphans), by equipping them with the basic skills, knowledge and mindset every child deserves to acquire on their paths to self-discovery of purpose.

On Saturday, 24th of September, 2016, CHEC’s passion for humanity could not be contained as their monthly workshop steered them all the way to ‘The Arrows of God Orphanage Home’, in Ajah. This marked the 5th Edition of their Monthly Child Development Workshop which had as its theme: “The Future in their hands”.

The children pays attention to Mrs. Timilehin as she teaches them how to make cake.
The journey was however long and tough as the team and facilitators had to struggle to find their way through the bad roads, due to the rain of the past weeks– a result of which delayed the workshop for lateness and also as a result of the environmental sanitation that usually takes place on the last Saturday of every month in Lagos.  

Miss Chinonye J. Chidolue, the initiator of CHEC, doing what she knows how to do best; playing with the children.
On getting to the orphanage, there was no time to rest from the rough journey as the program started immediately, with Miss. Chinonye J. Chidolue, the Initiator of CHEC, bringing the children together with her playful gestures and opening prayer and introduction of the workshop. She succeeded in becoming their mother for the day, as they were all over her!

Mrs. Timilehin, teaching the children how to make cake.
Mrs. Timilehin Bello, CEO of “De’bella Cakes & Glasses Catering Service”, showed the children “the future in their hands”, by teaching the Children the Art of Cake Baking. The children, who are between the ages of 5 to 16, all participated in the processing of the cake. Some of them came with their pens and papers and made notes from the tutorials.

The practical aspect of it was not left out as the children also participated in the mixing of the cake and identification of several baking ingredients. The tutorial also introduced question and answer session, to carry the children all along. 

Once the cake batter was set to be baked, there was however yet another challenge: no oven to bake! This didn’t deter the promising day and the zeal of the team as a ready alternative was provided– the traditional way– the woods! 

Joshua Edeh, popularly known as "Josh", performing his song to entertain the Children 
Hereon, Joshua Edeh, popularly known as Josh, an upcoming musician, and the 2nd facilitator of the day, entertained the kids with his song and encouraged them to use their talents for the good of everyone. He performed his hit single “Right back” and several other singles from his yet to be released album. The delighted children energetically joined him in the singing and dancing.

Even though the cake took twice longer than usual to get baked, the team had to wait until 7pm, when the cake was done before leaving under dark weather which began to drizzle.

Mr. Ifenna, a Cinematographer and Nollywood Movie Director, who also came through to support the team on their 5th edition, covered the entire event with videos, interviews with the facilitators (Mrs. Timilehin Bello and Josh Edeh) and CHEC representatives (Miss Chinonye J. Chidolue and Eneji Stephen Toluwalashe popularly known as Soul’e Rhymez).

We give God all the glory as the arrow hits its target once again on the journey of CHEC and her humanitarian activities. Against all odds, another success was recorded.

SOUL'E RHYMEZ POETRY COMPETITION SEASON1

POEM 1 And Divinity Wept Love I marvel how Divinity could ever demonstrate love A love for humanity so pure as pure as a dove: In his love was love and a love void of lust, For on the cross he bled and suffered to save the lost. He considered not the affliction and pain For with his suffering comes great gain; With his blood the sin of mankind was cleansed As perfect redemption was made that heavens may be appeased. He was the precious lamb sent to save the world, And redeem man from a life of mod; His love was divine and so he died for man to find peace; That by his death man's suffering may cease. His death brought freedom and gave man hope Of eternity and a hope for a heavenly robe, Though his suffering and agony was grave Yet he loved man so much that his life he gave. His heart of love made him endure the cross, For he died that he may redeem man from loss; Being divine his blood made man as pure as a dove Even in death, still in his heart was love....

THE RUDIMENTS OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

Image
Let ’ s start by knowing what we call Communication. COMMUNICATION As food and water is crucial to human survival, so does Communication. Communication pervades every human activity, man cannot do without it. We are engrossed in it from the time we wake up in the morning until we go back to bed in the night; from birth to death we are in perpetual state of communication. It is a phenomenon that cuts across the daily activities of human beings. In fact, the pervasive nature of communication makes it impossible for us to ever refuse to communicate as long as we are living. Hence, the axiom; “ we cannot not communicate ” comes into place. In view of the above, one will see that communication is very important to man. It is a cord that binds every part of the society together. Human activities and achievements have relationship with communication whether one expresses himself verbally or through non-verbal means, even when a man is presumed silent, he is in a way ...

HOLINESS AND VIRGINITY

Image
Talking about virginity to some people, you are indirectly talking about holiness, but have we ever tried to ask what the differences are? Does virginity have anything to do with holiness? Maybe we just don’t define them rightly. Now let’s define them. According to Oxford Dictionary, holy from which holiness is derived are defined as follows: 1. Morally and spiritually excellent or perfect, and to be revered. 2. Belonging to or devoted to God. 3. consecrated, sacred. [Old English: related to *whole] Let’s talk the meaning of virginity just as well. Virginity means remaining a virgin and according to Oxford Dictionary virgin is defined as follows: 1. Person who has never had sexual intercourse. 2. (The Virgin) Christ's mother Mary. 3. (The Virgin) sign or constellation Virgo. —adj. 1 not yet used etc. 2. Virginal. [Latin virgo -gin-] All the above definitions of virgin points to one thing: natural state of something; a state of not being utilized. ...
