BDSF project 5000 is about celebrating Christmas with 5000 indigent children within Lagos by hosting a Christmas party where we feed, give medical aids as well as provide them with back to school materials. We have done this successfully for two consecutive years with the help of our dedicated and selfless volunteers. For our third edition, there was need to create a special department (hospitality department) of people who will cater for our volunteers while they attended to the children.
When I was added to the hospitality group and informed that I will be the team head by our national coordinator, I was a bit unsure of myself because I wasn’t in Lagos. On the 26th of December, my teammates and I went round the stadium several times to share water, biscuits and sweets to our volunteers. We also gave flip flops and handkerchief to volunteers who asked for it. In the evening we served small chops and later all volunteers came together to dine and take pictures. I will like to really appreciate my team members, they have made the past 6 weeks ago fun filled experience. I will also like to thank BDSF founder, Madam Defunke Adewunmi, BDSF National coordinator, Mr Emeka S C Iweka and all other board members for this honour to serve.
