She recalled that while other people were in their homes celebrating with family and loved ones, the children were confined to a particular place with no place to call home

“The children have no place to go. They have no place they can call home. And a lot of people are enjoying the festivities in the comfort of their homes.”

It is just good to celebrate the new year with this wonderful kids. It is not their fault that they found themselves in the situation they are right now.

“But in the spirit of the new year, we brought these items to make them feel the love of a mother. We want to make them understand that they are not abandoned or rejected.”

I also call on other individuals to join hand and make life easier for the children.
