Imagine going to school every day without proper shoes, a uniform, with house slippers or oversized slippers. Well, these are our future generation; we just met them for the first time, in a village in Rivers State, Nigeria. What will you do if you come from this particular village? Would it touch your heart to partner with YGEF to make an impact in their lives? We may not choose which family to be born to, but we can choose to support these young children to with resources needed to develop their individual learning strategies, values, attitudes and generic skills.
For God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so. - Hebrew 6:10
