Letter from the heart

Our website is finally here…What can I say except first of all I would like to thank the Almighty God for making this possible. As a young child growing up in Africa I witnessed a lot of poverty around me, whether it be in most of the places I visited or just outside my home door but what really touched my heart was the orphan kids I saw just roaming around the streets rummaging the bins looking for food & shelter. I then thought to myself how lucky I am, to have a roof over my head also to have parents & family around me who loved and cared for me as best as they could. I felt sad for those children that never had that but I was not in a position to help at the time. That is when I set my dream to grow up and help as many people especially children as I possibly can. My family moved to London and few years down the line I met a lovely woman who has become one of my very good friends, she had the same passion as I did, her passion was to help Victims of domestic violence together we created our charity Victims Aid . I couldn’t believe that one of my long time dreams was finally coming true. I felt so much joy in my heart because if this went well, I would work my hardest & make sure a lot of children’s lives would change for the better. Slowly we started the whole process & here we are now about to embark on this journey and help as many as we can because we believe EVERY LIFE MATTERS.
