Of That Day and more...

I was just telling Maddie how excited I am about Christmas Day being around the corner.. You know what this means yeah?? Yeah?? Loool yeah you guessed right!! CHRISTMAS ON THE STREETZ IS AROUND THE CORNER!!



Loool now that I have that out of the way, I need to make a few last minute announcements...

First of, a few people sent me emails about having problems while trying to enter their information on the spreadsheet from the last post. I am so sorry about that. If you had that problem, please feel free to send me an email. Or you can just leave a comment for me on here and I will take care of it from there.

Transportation:
Now, I know earlier I said everyone would meet up at City Mall, but there has been a slight change of plans. If you live on the Island, and you want to car pool or you don't know the way, please be at CITY MALL (TBS) on or before 10am sharp. Maddie will be leading the troupe from there. She will leave at exactly 10:15am. Please do not say I didn't say so.. There will be absolutely NO african time..

If you are on the Mainland, please be at OZONE (Yaba) by 10am. The group coming from City mall will meet us there and from there will leave for Makoko. We will leave by 11:00am sharp. This is just to give those coming from the island enough time. Once we leave, thats it. Again, I am a stickler for time and therefore there will BE NO AFRICAN TIME...

Buses will be provided for those who do not have transportation.

Dress Code:
Please come in jeans and a white tee/tank. The jeans can be any color but the white tee is a must please :)

Health Officers:
If you are a health officer please let me know.. Doctors or nurses.. Please let me know.. I will be coming with my First Aid kit just incase. But come prepared to help out if need be..

Please come prepared to help out in serving the residents.. Most of all come prepared to have fun :D

Of Donations and More...

First of all.. ( I know you said 'go down low' don't lie Lol) We wanna say a BIG thank you to everyone for responding in the past few days! Its been amazing hearing from everyone!

A couple of issues were brought up and I thought I'd address them.


Bank information is as follows:
Name: Munachi Aniemena (Our acting accountant)
Bank: UBA
Acct No: 2059093752

Also, if you feel as if you want to do more than donate money, you can also donate anything your heart leads you to. I'm talking about clothes, canned foods, books, stationaries et al. Just let us know and we will arrange for pick up or delivery.


If there are any health professionals that would like to volunteer their services to offer health services to the residents please feel free to contact me as soon as you can.

They could really use all the help they can get so please lets make this happen! :D

Please if you have a blog and you and want to support us, feel free to use any of our posts! We need more people to get involved!

Lunch on Christmas Day...


Sooooo its that time of the year.. You know the one where we bring out all the lights and the decorations. It’s also that time of the year where we exchange gifts or we give to those who don’t have enough.

So please join us this year as we do something different. If you have followed the news this year, at one point or the other you would have heard of the displaced settlement known as Makoko. They barely have enough infrastructures to be called a community but that is what they are.

This is why on December the 25th, we are planning on having lunch with as many residents there as possible. Mostly the children and as many adults as we can get around to. And this is where we need you all to come in. We will be accepting monetary donations no matter how little to make this happen.  So please feel free to give us as much as you can afford. Remember “Tis the Season!! J


And as much as we need monetary assistance, we will also want more people to get involved. So please get at us. We will also be needing volunteers that will come out to the community with us on that day! More information about the project will be put out shortly!
