 COMPREHENSIVE REPORT ON CHILDREN’S DAY CELEBRATION WITH THE STREET CHILDREN IN ATIKANKAN ADO EKITI, EKITI STATE, NIGERIA.

HELD ON THE 27^TH OF MAY, 2021

Children day is one the national holiday celebration among all the children in Nigeria.  The celebration is mark on 27^th of May every year. It is a day set aside to celebrate the future leaders. In other to make the street children to be part of this year celebration, GLOBAL SUPPORT FOR KIDS INITIATIVE took it upon herself to celebrate and make it a remarkable day for the street children by making the day a colorful one with them and also give them the insight that their general welfare is our greatest concern.

GLOBAL SUPPORT FOR KIDS INITIATIVE sees a very tangible reason to celebrate these children on this remarkable day because we see them as a normal and regular child we keep at home. It was due to various circumstances in their homes, which make majority of them a victim and pushes them on the street. We realize the society don’t care about their existence. These street children are rejected, neglected and castigated, forgetting that they play a very crucial role in our society. 

 The staff of GLOBAL SUPPORT FOR KIDS INITIATIVE arrived the venue alongside with the organization media man to cover the event. On getting there, the children were happy to see us, they turned out with excitement, jumping, dancing and full of energy immediately they hear the sound of music played. We can see over them the feeling of being loved and cherished. The children were given a plain card to demonstrate and speak out their mind,

“IF YOU LEAVE US ON THE STREET, WE BECOME HARDEN, BUT IF YOU COME TO OUR AID, WE WILL BE RESCUED”.

“WE ARE LIVING IN HORRENDOUS CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE SKY IS OUR ROOF AND STREET IS OUR LIFE WE CELEBRATE” HAPPY CHILDREN’S DAY TO US”.

WE ARE CASTIGATED, REJECTED AND NEGLECTED, WE ARE PRONE TO BE TEMPTED, BUT WE WONT RELENT. HAPPY CELEBRATION TO US”.

The children were dancing while displaying the plain card, snacks and drinks were served to make the merry for the day. It’s was an awesome moment with the street children as we celebrate with them this year children’s day.
