THE SUNSHINE PROJECT: LETS CLOTHES THE CHILDREN THIS XMAS

To bring sunshine into the lives and upon the faces of children whose parents are truly unable to afford Christmas clothes and new pair of shoes for them this Christmas, Sunshine Project is urging you to touch the life of a child who may not even have  a Christmas attire and a new pair of shoes this Christmas.

Ayo has been in Lagos for over four weeks now designing costumes and styling up contestants for the TV show, Nigeria’s Got Talent. Parents of these boys and girls strived to get them through primary schools and struggled even harder to put food on their tables, buy them school uniforms and books.

Ayo was inspired to begin to use the rest of the fabrics that have been bought for the TV show over this period and the rest of the fabrics that is left from past collections to make dresses, shirts, trousers…for children who are among the poorest in their communities. Lagos has a very strong Christmas culture and it is a norm that children get new clothes, often their only clothes for the next year, at Christmas.

The team visited Ebenezer Public Primary School on Tuesday, 27th November and we will be delivering the first set of new clothes that will be sewn on the 7th of December, the next sets on the other Fridays to come before this Christmas. Now, if parents of these children cannot afford new Christmas clothes, they obviously cannot afford shoes either. So we will be buying these children shoes too.

Ayo van Elmar is sincerely asking you to be part of the people to put a smile on the faces of the Nigerian Children at the Christmas season and support the Sunshine Project. The more you give, the more clothes and shoes they give.
