This is very personal to me because I've met some of these children; pictured with me below under the Obalende bridge where most of them call home.

I went there last year with some of the guys I work with to interview Lagos area boys for the mag when I ran into these children. What an experience it was. I spent a few hours there watching them play, fight, eat and generally living the only life they know. I spoke with them afterwards and was astounded at how smart and knowledgeble they are. These children have dreams, hopes and are definitely looking for that light at the end of the tunnel. They need help, they can't help themselves but you and I can, so please help them in any way you can.

Thought of the day
In helping others, we help ourselves, for whatever good we give out completes the circle and comes back to us

So get a table at this event and support this charity.
God bless
