July 17, 2021, was indeed a memorable date for us at the Bernadette Eyisi Foundation (BEF). It was our first opportunity of going for an engagement in company of some of the grandchildren of our Founder and this time our port of call was the Living Fountain Orphanage, located at Plot 22, Yesufu Abiodun Way, Oniru, Victoria Island Lagos.

Living Fountain Orphanage is a non-governmental, non-profit organization established in 2007. Presently, it houses a total of 16 children, the oldest of whom is just 13 years old. These are made up of motherless and abandoned babies as well as children of the under-privileged and the poorest of the poor in the society.

The children are sheltered, fed and trained morally and educationally till they are adopted by foster parents or they attain such an age that they could become independent and cater for themselves in the outer society.

We were welcomed with a heart-warming song of gratitude by the children who were totally overwhelmed with joy for our visit and the little token we brought to them.

After spending some time with them and being enlightened about some of their activities, we left with three unforgettable lessons imprinted on our hearts: –

1. Always cherish our parents and family.
2. Everybody, especially the younger ones, should endeavour to use our belongings prudently.
3. We should always find ways to share what we have with those who have none.

Below are some pictures from the visit;
