Miss Maria found out earlier at the start of ELOI that even with the benefits that the Ministry will bring to the children we serve, giving liberates the soul of the giver. Giving does not precede receiving, it’s the reason for it and it’s in giving that we receive. These principles have been her guiding light in her position and relationship with ELIOM. To serve diligently in any capacity to uphold a vison that affects all of us in one way or another. A vison to restore the rights and position of the less privileged African child.
