The Noel Love Triangle 2023: Donations and Skill Training

January 12, 2024

The Noel Love Triangle 2023 event was a combination of donation and skill training activities. The usual procedure was followed where participants registered as Santas, received letters, and submitted gifts. However, there was a slight difference this year as the letters were written by the organization on behalf of the beneficiaries. This was done to gather funds for the donations and to pilot the skill training project.

The event took place from December 27th to 29th, 2023, and was held at the Akwadum Christian Village Foundation, Koforidua, WAMM House of Mercy, Pantang and Charis Shepherd Vineyard, Cape Coast. Although the plan was to provide training in a variety of areas, such as beaded bags, necklaces, keyholders, earrings, woven bags, recycled plastic bottles, and bags. Due to time constraints and other factors, only the keyholder training was provided for the Akwadum Christian Village Foundation, and the keyholder and crocheting training for Charis Shepherd Vineyard. WAMM House of Mercy is a home for special children, and their activity was painting.

Each child received a branded bag, drink, chocolates, and pastry (sponsored). In addition, each age group received the following:
