ATP Partners LHF, Brings Sunshine to Otodo-Gbame Internally Displaced Children

Image
History was made on Saturday, 30th September when over one thousand recently displaced children from Otodo-Gbame slums, in the Lekki-Ajah area of Lagos State were blessed with a special free medical outreach organized by Ask The Paediatrician Foundation in conjunction with Linking Hands Foundation.

The event, which held at the expansive premises of Redeemed Christian Church of God, Resurrection Parish, Jakande, Lekki will, no doubt remain an experience to treasure, going by the outpour of love showered on the once traumatized and homeless children; all thanks to the organizers of the outreach, the generous donors that gave in cash and kind and the two hundred and fifty volunteers, comprising of both medical personnel and other professionals of repute, who served selflessly and passionately to ensure that all the children had a swell time.

My Name Is Fatima Mustapha. I Am 21 Years Old. I Am From Makarfi In Kaduna State. I Would Like To Share My Divorce Diaries With You.
I was married off at age 11. In my village, most of us were married by age 12 to preserve our purity. I am still not sure what that means. I never thought it would happen to me because my parents allowed me to attend school instead of hawking and I loved school alot. In my school nobody made me do extra work because I was a girl. I loved school because I loved coming first and being ahead of the boys in my class. I was in JS2 when my mother started talking about getting me married. I honestly thought she was joking until my uncle brought his friend to our house as my suitor.
My suitor, Malam Faruk was a shoe seller and cobbler in Zaria. He was 42 years old and my parents felt he would make a good husband. I did not understand what they were all talking about. I really did not understand what I would do with a husband. So that’s how Malam Faruk started comi…
