A heartwarming moment with my team as we engage in humanitarian work at the Frathekk Orphanage kumba, supporting children—many of whom are survivors’ children impacted by war, sexual, or domestic violence. With a shared passion for change, we organized a joyful party through our collective financial contributions, bringing smiles and hope to these young lives December 24/2023.

At the Frathekk Orphanage, we didn’t just give gifts; we brought joy with the King Glory Kids, talented young artists, and comedian Jerald, who filled the day with laughter. The overjoyed proprietress shared they’d never experienced such support, blending care and entertainment. She welcomed us back, highlighting the children’s need for these moments of happiness. Join us in continuing this initiative your support can help us touch even more lives.
