On June 20th, the Rotaract Club of Mount Aureol commemorated the Day of the African Child with a meaningful initiative titled “Kip Pikin Kompin” at SLMB School, Blackhall Road. This project underscores our commitment to serving and uplifting communities, particularly by supporting the most vulnerable children.

Impacting Over 800 Students

The initiative directly benefited over 800 students through the provision of:

• Essential learning materials

• Hygiene supplies

• Other critical resources to enhance their education and well-being

Special assistance was provided to:

• Students affected by a recent fire near the school

• Children without parental care or in destitute conditions

A Day of Inspiration and Engagement

The event commenced with a formal opening ceremony, featuring remarks from distinguished child advocates, including Hassan Fuad Kanu, Judith Thompson, Christian Sahr Jabba, and Seray Madi Mbayoh. Their speeches, complemented by prayers and words of encouragement, inspired attendees. The students were served a nutritious meal, followed by a screening of the film Sarafina, which fostered inspiration and engagement. With the assistance of Rotarian PAG Christian Kamara, we distributed school supplies to support the students’ educational pursuits.
