Participants during the event
A humanitarian group, De New Calabar Lions Club, has offered free medical outreach, food items, cash gifts and free haircut to about 100 vulnerable street children and orphans in Calabar, Cross River State.
The event with the theme, ‘Kindness in Action Project: A Day for Street Children’ held on Wednesday was in partnership with Cross River State Children’s Parliament and CyanahPen Odeluwa to commemorate the 2026 World Children’s Day Celebration.
The President of the group, Bright Nwokeocha, said the exercise was part of the organisation’s humanitarian mission to offer free medical services directly to vulnerable children living on the streets.
He said, “The essence of today’s outreach is to commemorate Children’s Day and bring this free medical outreach closer to the vulnerable children living on the street and orphans who don’t have parental care.”
