Back to School 2021 in Mbengwi: Tadercam Foundation Orphanage Equips Kids

As the last minute preparations are being made for the resumption of schools in Mbengwi this 2021/2022 academic year, Tadercam Foundation Orphanage has set the ball rolling in preparing kids materially to embrace the new school year. On Saturday August  28 2021, some 25 children of school going age being brought up by the orphanage were equipped with exercise books, pens, pencils, erasers, sharpeners, rulers etc according to their various classes.

The distribution exercise took place in the head office of the foundation located in between the Mbengwi old council building and old court. Tah Derick is the founder of Tadercam Foundation Orphanage. In addressing the guardians that brought the little ones, he encouraged all to learn to be one another's keeper contrary to what some people erroneously believe in, that anybody for himself. He told them that "Money has impact when used on people not assets. You can have everything in the world but if you can't make someone to smile, you're nothing."

Talking to Mbengwi Online on the reason for the donation, Derrick said "We want to give these children a permanent smile so that they grow to do same to others. Our desire is for people to develop the mind of always helping others around us, not necessarily orphans in whatever little way they can." Pa Abu Chick Lucas, a retired civil servant from Tugi village attended the event to contribute his own little quota for the proper upbringing of the children by donating a solar rechargeable shaving machine to the orphanage that shall from now henceforth be used to shave the children's hair till the day it gets bad. He also promised to do more as an individual and source for help from other well wishers through his connections.

Mangong Daniella Akwi, a pupil of Government Primary School Wumnemburg extended a vote of thanks to Tadercam Foundation Orphanage wishing God's abundant blessings on its founder. Founded in 2014, Tadercam Foundation Orphanage finally got its legalisation documents to go operational in June 2021. The orphanage as at now has 35 children spread within several villages of the Meta clan, Mbengwi. The orphans for now are not being jointly housed in any particular building but rather being catered for in the respective homes where they live with guardians or relatives.
