Lend a hand to children of Africa

Most of us would think of poverty when we hear the word “Africa”. Yes, it is undeniable that the African children face challenges in life; lack of food, clean water, medical aid, clothing and proper housing contribute to their daily struggles. African children are beautiful, just like u and I. They are also like us who are trying to survive in this life filled with hardship. As survivors, we must also help these helpless kids to go through life. Let’s give them a beautiful life by lending our hands to help them. You can make a difference now. After all, sharing is caring.

Here is a short poem by Olumide Damilusi:

CHILDREN IN AFRICA (C.I.A) .

Every single day in Africa
There's a child out there
Who's hungry and sick without meds.
And also without shelter and clothing
Needing for your love and succor

Every single day in Africa
A child goes hungry to bed
Looking badly malnourished and ill-fed
Not sure where and when the next meal comes
Lives in slums in unhygienic conditions
In a bid to break barriers and above par

Every single day in Africa
A child drops out of school
Due to Abject poverty and starvation
And an inability to pay school fees
Which results to disillusionment

Every single day in Africa
A child is psychologically abused
Sent out on the cold streets
To eke out out a living for his family
Inspite of very imminent dangers on his way

Every single day in Africa
A child wakes up to harsh realities
Sold into prostitution, slavery and crime
Against their own very wishes
To a world of hate and bestiality

Every single day in Africa
A child is faced with humiliation
Despair and suppression of own voices
He cant be heard and he's preyed upon
In a world where he seeks protection and love

So many have lost hope.
Some have had their trust damaged
Some are living for the day
Waiting for what tomorrow brings
In a cruel world that care less
About the future of the Africa Child...
