The city of Lagos
comes alive this September as For The
Love Of Country returns to Terra Kulture courtesy of Slum2 School Africa,
a social advocacy group created to change the lives of children living in rural
communities, and the Creative Nigeria Project to support charity
efforts to raise funds for the Mentorship Hub for urban slums in Lagos.
The musical featuring the Crown Troupe of
Africa is an interpretation of the last 100 years of Nigeria’s socio-cultural
history skilfully delivered by leading musical and screen acts. It will offer
the rare delight of listening to a mix of timeless Nigerian songs.
In a press release by
the curator of Creative Nigeria Project, Ferdinand Adimefe, he stated that “Investing
in the lives of our children is the best way to secure our future. This is why
we invite you to join the effort of Slum to School and Creative Nigeria
Project. Through the For The Love Of
Country event, we hope to raise Ten Million Naira [N10m Only] to
establish community mentorship hubs in Makoko.
Also, the founder of
S2S Orodaam Otto also stated that this event is one of the creative ways the
organisation is seeking to raise fund. With
a huge team of volunteers and thousands of children taken off the streets, this
mentorship hub will provide an opportunity to offer quality programs and
activities that will further develop the children.
The Slum 2 School is
a social advocacy group created to change lives, especially that of the
less-privileged and orphaned children. In the last two years, they have
impacted over 3000 Orphans/Vulnerable out-of-school children, through the
provision of educational scholarships and other psycho-social support programs.
The vision of the group is to transform the society by empowering disadvantaged
children to realize their full potential.
