🌈 My Colour, My Voice — Visit to Divine Touch Orphanage 💫

The aim of this visit was simple but powerful: to give children at Divine Touch Orphanage, Alakuma a safe space to express themselves through art, music, and creativity, and to celebrate their individuality and voices.

When there is a voice to guide, a shoulder to lean on, a hand to hold, you feel complete… but what if you never had that? A reflection that takes every caring heart off guard.

Caring hearts like the EnowAgbor Foundation, in partnership with Gifted Hands and Healing Voices, and a formidable team of volunteers, came together with a common goal — to bring out what these children had within them, and what others saw in them.

Through colors, beads, and music, the children expressed themselves, celebrated one another, and shared their voices through every smile, every dance step, and every song — each echoing a simple truth: “I see you, and I would love to see you again.” 🎨✨

A heartfelt thank you to our volunteers, whose time, energy, and creativity made every activity joyful and meaningful. And to the EnowAgbor Foundation, for your generous support in making this outreach possible. Together, we continue to nurture resilience, inclusion, and hope through the power of creative expression. 💚

🌍✨ Young Leaders for Arts & Health – Bamenda Summit ✨🌍
Theme: Creative Pathways to Well-being

What an inspiring day it was! 💡💭
From powerful panel discussions on the intersection of arts and health with incredible voices including New Breed Africa, Centre for Research and Practice of Arts-Related Therapies (CeFoRPAT), and many others, to the lively painting workshop, slam poetry, and soulful music by guitarist Fanka Elvis 🎶🎨🖌️—the summit was filled with creativity, reflection, and connection.

We had the privilege of serving as co-host, MC, and panelist, sharing insights on how creative arts blend with nursing through the lens of nursing theorists. It was beautiful to see how the arts spark conversations on healing and help us break the stigma surrounding mental health. 💚

This summit is part Young Leaders For Arts and Health Health initiative, founded by the Arts In Medicine Fellowship in collaboration with the Commonwealth Leadership Institute, to nurture change-makers leveraging creativity for health and well-being.

💬 Question for you: What form of art brings the most healing to you? ??🎨📖

🎤WORKSHOP REFLECTION: HEALING THROUGH CREATIVITY

In our very first session with the Special Needs Entrepreneur Group in Bamenda, Cameroon, we witnessed something more than participation. We saw healing, connection and remembrance.

Through collective poetry, mindfulness and pencil art exhibitions, participants opened up in ways we never imagined and here's what we found.
💓88.9% felt more emotionally connected
💓100% wanted to return for another session
💓one participant said "Let's include them in our prayers"
And of course, there were lots of smiles🥰🥰🥰

These moments stayed with us. This report captures what happened and what it meant.

🎥A Walk into the World of Dementia and the Arts📸

Following Shiynyuy Glory inspiring post on the day of our activity, here's a glimpse into the meaningful moments we shared dementia.

As part of our awareness campaign, this video invites you into a powerful intersection of dementia and the arts - highlighting how ordinary art activities done together draw out something deeply human in us. They don't just make us smile but awaken the inner child who longs to belong, to reach out, to be seen and most importantly to remember what it feels like to be safe.

Through collective creativity, we find not just expression, but connection, healing and resilience🥰🥰🥰

Let's keep holding space for one another, through art, through presence and through community
