The youths of My Home Town, a non-governmental organization with headquarters in Choma, Zambia, and with a strong membership of over 500 across the World plan to host a number of events for orphans as part of their Christmas celebration and fun day on December 20 in Lusaka.
MHT Deputy Managing Director in charge of Youth Affairs, Ms Alpha Ndambo speaking from her base in South Africa said the intention is to give the orphans a greatest treat of their life. The fun day outing will cater for 50 children selected from various orphanages across Lusaka focusing on the 3-12 age groups. The programme of events will run from 10 hours to 17 hours at Barclays Sports Complex on the material date.
Various forms of entertainment will include Father Christmas who as usual will dish out gifts and a live band will be on hand and patrons both the old and young will be given the opportunity to interact with the orphans while food and drinks will be on sale.
She has appealed to all MHT members and members of the public to attend and advised that they will be called upon to pay a minimal gate charge that is yet to be determined. All My Home Town members are encouraged to donate generously to this worthy cause, which will see fifty per cent of raised funds donated to Lusaka based orphanages and the other fifty per cent will be directed to an Orphanage in Choma.
“We would like to expose the children who are underprivileged to a Christmas experience that they have never had and which they will not forget. Some of these children have only heard about Christmas but without really experiencing it,” said Alpha.
