Mother Theresa Orphanage celebrates 4th anniversary! It was a 4th anniversary Christmas season for the lovely boys and girls of Mother Theresa Children's Home, Gwarimpa, Abuja. And many lovers of children from around the world joined them in that impressive celebration.      Mother Theresa Children's Home is easily regarded as Abuja's most-caring and neatest children's orphanage. It's founder, Yeye Bolanle Dare, has an enduring gift for all the kids in the recent acquisition of a 2-hectare land at FCT Abuja's Kagini area. On the new site will be built an expansive home for the kids, creche and primary schools, children's clinic and playground, among other facilities.    It is significant to note that the 4th anniversary celebration coincided with the birthday anniversary of 35 out of the 45 kids of the orphanage. Both occasions were celebrated on Sunday, 18th December, 2011, with a thanksgiving mass at the Church of Assumption, Asokoro, Abuja. A well-attended party and reception followed at the orphanage, House 6, Road 353, Off 35 Road, 3rd Avenue, Gwarimpa Estate, Abuja. The dress code on that memorable occasion was yellow on army green accessories.             (Couldn't make it to the event?

Yeye Bola Dare cuddling an abandoned baby Within a few years, the Abuja-based Mother Theresa Children's Home, in terms of the quality of care given its wards, has unarguably become one of Nigeria's best orphanages. Its founder, Yeye Bolanle Dare - who has the uncommon gift of bonding with every child there as if with her own child - and her retinue of committed staff, treat all the children like princes and princesses. The environment in its entirety exudes such pleasantness and love, such warmth and compassion, every visitor cannot but get the impression he has walked into one big, closely-integrated family, rather than a house of isolated kids. "This is their home," Yeye Dare emphasizes, "the only home they've ever known. We give them maximum comfort and care and shower love upon each and every one of them so that they can grow up having a kinder and pleasant view of the world." And even in their tender years here, these kids are subtly taught, not by preachment but by example, to care for and love each other. Thus, it is not uncommon in this extra-ordinary foster home to see a baby - probably a baby abandoned by her own mother - extending her affectionate hands to cater for another and give us all a reason to hope that amidst all the woes in this world tenderness will ultimately prevail.
