Mr. ANDRE JOSE FIGUEIREDO,

Dear Sir
Re: THANK YOU FOR THE MONEY YOU HAVE GIVEN TOWARDS THE RENTING OF THE PROJECT OFFICES AND HOME (CENTRE).
I am here by thanking you as stated above.
As Delight family we thank you for the contribution you’re making towards our annual rent.
We appreciate so much the efforts to stand with us to see that Delight family gets a better shelter and accommodation. We believe that the shelter will give opportunity to homeless, street kids, orphans and other impoverished children and youths to have a well established home where they can get proper care, accommodation and maximum supervision.
It will be the centre (home) where all youths will gather, identify their talents and learn different skills like brass band music, art and crafts, dancing(both cultural and western), games and sports ,and also counseling services will always be given to youth at the center, and many other activities related to youth and children welfare.
We strongly believe that the home will be a place of transformation to many youths in the area.
Thank you very much for your contribution Sir. We can’t just express all our happiness here but we are greatly happy and excited about your contribution.
We fell blessed.
Yours faithfully
WATAKA ISMAIL
PROJECT COORDINATOR

Here are some images of the property which does need renovation, repair and maintenance.

Eventually the external walls will be covered in art by locals and youth/children, which I will be involved in and am very excited about.
I have already done a similar project in Gombe, Northern Nigeria for a Primary School.
