On the 15th January 2019, team Iya Hauwa Foundation (IHF) were busy #WalkingtheTalk in the 4LGAs of Jigawa State, distributing blankets to the elderly and vulnerable people in the following LGAs of the State: Kazaure Psychiatric hospital, Birnin-Kudu older people home, Birniwa rehabilitation centre and some older people in Babura LGA.
The project is part of the IHF community outreach activities that aim to give back to the people, no matter how small it is…
This project was supported by some individuals that are interested in IHF community projects. IHF is highly pleased and appreciates the following people for their support in implementing this project; Brother Khalid (here in London), Islah Ismail, Sani D, Dr S Sadi, Asmau Rimi & Sisters, Hauwa Alhassan B and F.A.A. Also to Team IHF and our volunteers lead by the registered volunteers from the 4LGAs (Shamsu Magaji West, Murtala Kazaure, Sanusi Lawan Kzr, Ado Saidu, Mal Ali Umar, and Shamsu Ismail and to our website developer Abdulhamid Abdullahi. IHF appreciate the role each and everyone played, and it is hoping that this will be the beginning of our teamwork in giving back to our communities and humanity.
Giving back to our communities does so much to help those in need and contribute to the common good, and so we must strive to give back in every way we can and no matter how small it is.
As we all know, that community is a familiar thread used to bring people together to advocate and support each other. As human beings, we need a sense of belonging, and that sense of belonging is what connects us to the many relationships we develop because a sense of belonging is a human need, just like the need for food and shelter. Feeling that you belong is the most important value in life; a sense of belonging to a greater community improves our motivation, health, and happiness.
