Rev. Sr, Josephine Nwogwugu, made the appeal in an interview with TEAM BIBLICAL UNIVERSITY in Gwagwalada , Abuja, when some of the TEAM Members paid a visit to the home. Nwogwugu said the home needed assistance to pay the school fees, feed and take care of the children as well as sustain the home.
“We depend mainly on charity-what people bring, individuals, people, churches – that is what we use to take care of the children. “So, we appeal to the people of good will to participate in this work by donating generously with whatever they have. “You can donate your time, to come and stay with the children, you can also donate materially and financially to help bring the children up responsibly,’’ she said.
Nwogwugu said that the children needed care, saying that they struggle to provide the care they can for them and that they will grow up to become citizen of this country. She said the home, established by the Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja in collaboration with the Sisters of the Needy to take care of children in difficult situation doesn’t discriminate. “We have Muslims here; we have children from different denominations because the focus is on human persons, to bring about wellbeing of these children so that they can grow to become responsible.
