Good day everyone few days back we posted about our intentions to visit an orphanage and we finally did.

Today being the 2nd of July 2018 the girls foundation visited Lemu orphanage home in port Harcourt, Nigeria.

I'm proud to say the outreach was a success, the guidance were well welcoming and the kids were adorable, smart and friendly.

On getting to the orphanage we were welcomed by the kids with a welcome song and prayers, too bad we weren't able to capture them while singing but we got the prayer section which is the video above.

After which we talked to the owners of the orphanage and presented the little gift we got for them.
Then we moved on to the story section which was the most interesting aspect of the visit.
@faetee handled the story section, she told the kids two stories, titled "the honest wood cutter" and "the man and the little cat"

Video clip of the honest wood cutter:-

After the story by @faetee the kids shared what they learnt from the story and it was lovely seeing the children talk with such boldness, if I must say the orphanage home did a great job in grooming the kids.

After all said was done, we took pictures with the kids and we headed back home.

Item presented to the orphanage

• Noodles

About girls foundation

The girls foundation is a project set up to enlighten young ladies of their
norms and value, advocate for the girl-child, encourage and support them
with the little we can.
We believe the girl-child can bring about change in our society. Women are
essential to the nation because they take care of its children, the children
are the future leaders of the nation, if you are familiar with the bible you
must have heard of this verse “train up a child in the way he should go and
when he is old he won‟t depart from it”.
Girls foundation was founded by a group of selfless ladies, it is a non￾governmental organization an d believes in decentralization.

VISION:-

• To enlighten youths of their purpose in life. We believe once you
  know the truth and purpose of your existence you are free, the
  journey to success and failure now lies in your hands.
• Rape free society- Rape is a sexual assault carried out against a
  person forcefully. The rate at which girls are being raped these days
  is alarming, we are also humans and we deserve respect. Most rape
  victims suffer from trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder, serious
  injuries and in some cases pregnancy and sexually transmitted
  infection.
• Fight against domestic violence- it is also known as intimate partner
  violence, domestic abuse or family violence ; it's a form of violence
  committed in a domestic or family setting, such as in marriage or
  cohabitation. It is called intimate partner violence when committed by
  spouse and called family violence when it involves the kids, parents
  or elders. Domestic violence has several effects on human that's is why girls foundation is picking it up. Effects of domestic violence
  includes :
  1.) Physical effect: This involves bruises round the victim, broken
  wrists, shortness of breath etc.
  2.) Mental effect: This involves PTSD (post-traumatic stress),
  pressing, drug abuse, suicidal thoughts etc.
  3.) Emotional effect: This involves feeling unworthy, hopeless and not
  motivated etc.
  4.)It affects the development of the kids and they suffer from
  depression, anxiety, fear etc
  Domestic violence always produces an international cycles of
  violence. Funny, only few people see themselves as being abused;
  considering it as family matter.
• Girl education: Some people still believe that training a female child is
  a waste of time and money 'cause they feel she'd still end up in the
  kitchen, well sorry to disappoint you but ladies can do much more
  than just being house wives, lots of educated women are doing fine in
  our society today. Every child deserves equal right to education.
  We don't think anyone should be treated differently because of their
  gender, we are all one and it's high time we realized that.

CONCLUSION:-

The primary aim of the girls foundation is to enlighten youths and increase
the awareness of the steem blockchain and steemit. Giving girls the ability
to create wealth with their writing skills, without waiting for the government
intervention.
