Games for a cause: Easter Monday with street children!

Remember how you first learned to love games as a child?

Sadly, many children living on the streets do not have that opportunity. They are consumed with hustling to survive-- they lack quality healthcare, sound education and positive uplifting recreation.

Since 2008, Street Child Care and Welfare Initiative (SCCWI) http://www.sccwi.org has been working to help street children find a home, find hope, and find a future through education.

And now, we are partnering with SCCWI to provide positive uplifting games and recreation for the street children in their care! Please invite your friends and come out to meet the SCCWI team and to play games with the boys (aged 12 - 17).

THE GAMES: This first meeting will be multi-game style. We plan to bring at a minimum:

• Scrabble (helps with English, Math, Strategy)

• Monopoly (helps with Entrepreneurship, Business Acumen, Math, Strategy, Geography, Negotiations)

• Whot (this card game helps with Strategy)

• 4-Faces of Diamonds (this card game helps with Math, Strategy)

• Ludo (helps with Teamwork, Strategy)

• Ayo (helps with Strategy)

SNACKS:

Please bring a snack or a drink with you for the group and to share with the boys

THE DONATIONS: ACTION REQUIRED

We will update this post with a list of things that are needed by SCCWI for the boys' care.

Please send a monetary donation of any size to Chidinma Obi. UBA Account # 1017558432 towards the buying of the items.
