On a bright Saturday morning, the Rivercrest Global Foundation team, alongside a group of our faithful volunteers, paid a heartfelt visit to Sacred Heart Orphanage Home, spending time with the children, participating in educational activities, and distributing food parcels, school materials, and personal care items to every child and staff member in the orphanage home.
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with excitement and an energy that immediately reminded us why we do what we do.
What We Brought
Our team arrived with:
- Food items including rice, beans, spaghetti, milk, garri etc
- Exercise books, pencils, calculators
- Toiletries and personal care items
- Electronics for the home, including a food blender and a pressing iron
The items were received by the home's administrator and matron, who expressed deep gratitude for the visit and for the practical support provided.
More Than a Donation
What made this visit truly special was not just what we brought, but also the time we spent. Our volunteers sat with the children, played games, listened to their stories, and prayed with them. Several of the children performed songs and recitations for our team, filling the compound with an infectious joy that stayed with everyone long after we left.
One of our volunteers, who had never participated in an outreach visit before, said afterwards: "I came thinking I was going to give something. I left feeling like I had received far more than I gave."
That is the spirit of Rivercrest.
A Call to Remember These Children
The children of Sacred Heart Orphanage Home are bright, talented, and full of potential. They need consistent support in the form of food, education, mentorship, and the knowledge that they are not forgotten.
RGF is committed to making regular visits to orphanages and children's homes as part of our ongoing poverty relief and community support work. If you would like to sponsor a visit, contribute items, or join our volunteer team for the next outreach, we would love to hear from you.
