Christmas comes across the world with lots of
celebrations, felicitations and expressions of
love. Celebrations among friends and family are
very common at this time of the year. What is,
however, not common at Christmas is when a
youth organisation decides to fete children of a
Home for the Disabled to a Christmas party. This
was what happened on December 27th 2014
when members of Leo District 404B2 Nigeria
hosted children residing at the Centre for
Destitute & Empowerment International – a
home for disabled children located in Idimu
Lagos.

The Christmas party tagged ‘Posh Baby’ was
rightfully themed so because toys and dolls were
donated by Leos, the Leo district and other well
meaning members of the public and presented
to the children of the home. The party which
started at about 1pm had members and
representatives of Leo Clubs from all regions of
the Leo district, was anchored by the Chief of
Staff to the District President, Leo Kolawole

Akindele. The children of the Home, all dressed
in uniformly made attire, had a swell time as
there was much to eat, drink and music to dance
to.
The Leo district presented the toys and teddy
bears to the management of the Home headed
by Pastor Samson Okoliko, for the use of the
children as a show of love and affection to them.
Also to make the event memorable was the
presence of Santa to gives presents to the kids in
the home.

Leo District President, Leo Deji Olukokun also
used the event to appraise the performance of all
clubs in the district for the first half of the year.
He chronicled the activities of the district so far
and expressed his appreciation to all Leos for the
support and encouragement he was given since
the beginning of the service year.
He also admonished all clubs to do better than
they have done and to always submit monthly M
& A reports to the district as that is the official
medium of reporting activities. He informed all
Leos present that only 6 clubs could be
effectively appraised based on reports received
from them.

He ended his appraisal by presenting
appreciation awards to Leos who had done very
well in the last 6 months of the year and thanked
them for their commitment to the success of his
administration.
The coordinator of the home Pastor Samson also
used the opportunity to express his profound
appreciation for the kind gesture. He said the
event is one of the best the home has ever
witnessed and he begged that the District should
continually remember the children and to always
extend their hands of love.
Some key Leo personalities present at the project
were Leo Tosin Ijaduola, Past Leo District
President; Leo Dolapo Macaulay, 1st Vice District
President; Leo Damola Odufuwa, 2nd Vice
District President; Leo Adeola Balogun, District
Secretary; Leo Monsurat Busari, District
Treasurer; Leo Peter Bruno Whedewu, 1st Vice
District President for District 404B1 as well as
District Coordinators, Club Presidents and
members of Leo clubs from across the district.
