    In her short address to her little guests, their guardians and other  philanthropists, Ms. Bridgewater talked about the 'positive impact' such an event can have on the development of children. 'My desire is  that this event will become part of the children's fondest childhood  memories as they into young productive adults. Every child, regardless  of their background or difficult home circumstances, deserves love and  to know we care', she said.

    The day climaxed with each child taking home a school bag filled with  exercise books, a bottle of frytol oil, a pair of shoes, a bag of  rice and an artists box.

    M. Bridgewater commended Alhaji Ahmed Bandoh especially, and the rest  of his team for their immense contribution in creating such an unforgettable experience for the kids.
