Abdulkareem said that the purpose of the Visitation to a Christian orphanage home is to show that Christians and Muslims are one, worship one God (Allah) and irrespective of our faith and religion, we are all one nation.
He prayed to Allah to bring an end to the problem of Kidnapping, terrorism and insecurity happening in the country.
While thanking the Muslims Corp members for the visitation, Reverend Sister Rosemary Okonmah of Anawin home said many of the children were found in the bush, motor parks while some in the waste bin and some girls whose boyfriend’s rejected their pregnancy are encourage not to abort the pregnancy and the home take care of them and their pregnancy till they gave birth, while some leave the child behind and some change their mind to take care of the child themselves.
Speaking further, she said the home also takes care of disabled children, mentally ill people who are found on the streets and brought to the orphanage home which are being taken care of by psychiatrist doctors.
Sis. Okonmah said Anawin orphanage home has its own Nursery and primary school for the children to learn adding that some of their children have benefited scholarship who are studying abroad, adding that some have been married off and some are working and they visit them whenever they are on break.
Anawin orphanage home is an orphanage home which is being ruined by the Catholic Church, whose mission is to clothe the naked, to shelter the homeless, to feed the hungry, to educate and raise the abandoned children and to give the word of God to the thirsty. The Motto is “Whatever you do to the least of these… you do unto me” Matt.25:40.
