In a heartwarming gesture, the Help for the Helpless organization has donated essential school supplies to children at the Little Way Orphanage in the Bayelle-Bamenda III area. This generous act comes just as students are preparing to return to school after the summer holiday, alleviating some of the pressure on parents and guardians striving to meet educational needs.
The Little Way Orphanage has long been a focal point for Help for the Helpless, which has consistently advocated for the welfare of its residents. The orphanage, which has faced challenges in health care, sanitation, and nutrition, received a much-needed boost with the donation of didactic materials, including books, pencils, and mathematical sets. These supplies will significantly ease the burden for Rev. Sister Muffu, the matron of the orphanage, as she prepares the children—ranging from primary three to lower sixth—for the upcoming school year.
Galabe Kingsley, head of the distribution commission, urged the children to take their studies seriously. "We are happy to support you, and we will be even glad to do more if you excel academically. Your success today can empower you to help others in the future," he stated.
Sister Muffu expressed heartfelt gratitude for the donation, emphasizing its impact on the orphanage's ability to meet the children's needs. "I used to think that mathematical sets should only go to older students due to limited resources. Today, I am overjoyed to see all the children, including little Marie-Anne in primary three, receiving these materials," she shared.
In a touching moment, young Marie-Anne, who recently underwent successful eye surgery, expressed her gratitude: "Let God bless Help for the Helpless for my eyes that I can now see again. I promise to top my class!" Her words reflect the hope and determination that this donation has inspired among the children at the orphanage.
As the school year approaches, the contributions from Help for the Helpless serve not only as educational support but also as a beacon of hope for the future of these vulnerable children.
