*OUR LOSS IS HEAVEN’S GAIN (Tribute to Mrs. Arthur)*

The Archbishop JKA Aggey Foundation mourns with the family of our Advisory Board Member, MRS. JULIANA LATRE-SIBI ARTHUR (Nee Lawson) who went to join the Saints Triumphant on 20th March, 2024.

Mrs Arthur was a valued and selfless volunteer whose contributions impacted our activities in the United States, Nigeria, Benin and Togo. Distance meant nothing to her as she always reached out by phone to participate in decision making and by zoom to join our conferences, lectures and symposia. She was such a resourceful pillar of strength for the Foundation and we thank God for the enviable Catholic life she lived in the service of humanity in consonance with the motto of our Foundation: “Let your light shine before men…”

She has left indelible footprints in the sands of time and will never be forgotten. Our hearts go out to her family, friends and associates. We pray that God will grant us all the fortitude to bear the loss of this great woman. We are consoled that she is resting blissfully in the bosom of Our Lord Jesus Christ whom she served through her devotion and selflessness. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in perfect peace. Amen.

The Foundation Board of Trustees, Management Staff, Volunteers, Well-wishers request all our page fans to please kindly help us to sign this petition for UN draft for the Rights of the Aged Citizens

https://www.change.org/p/it-s-time-to-age-with-rights?utm_medium=custom_url&utm_source=share_petition&recruited_by_id=5cc93700-8861-11ee-8613-ab2da94b79af

Sign our petition urging governments to start drafting a United Nations (UN) convention on the rights of older people without delay.

“We’re running out of time” says Vijay Naraidoo, Founding Member of DIS-MOI, a human rights organisation in Mauritius.

Vijay and other advocates and campaigners for the rights of older people are worried that they won’t see a UN convention on the rights of older people in their lifetimes.

We’re calling on the UN and member states to put pen to paper and draft a convention for the rights of older people.

Sign our petition today.

Dear World Leaders,

This year is the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but many older people are not able to enjoy the rights that the Declaration was written to uphold.

Older people tell us they face violence, abuse and neglect and struggle to access justice. They face health problems and cannot access the care and support they need. And they can find themselves unable to live their lives with dignity because they cannot enjoy these and other human rights.

We are the Global Alliance for the Rights of Older People, a network of over 400 member organisations from around 80 countries working to strengthen and promote older people’s rights.

Older people are invisible in the current international human rights framework.

Older people want to be seen, they want to be heard and they want to realise their rights.

A lot of evidence has already been presented at the UN showing that a convention is urgently needed. Older people must have equal access to health, education, work, financial security and an adequate standard of living. All of our rights must be promoted and protected as we age.

It’s time to take action and start drafting.

It’s time for all of us to

*2023 Universal Children’s Day: Pupils demand better country*

Some Nigerian children have joined their counterparts in other countries to celebrate the 2023 World Children’s Day, also known as Universal Children’s Day, demanding a better Nigerian society.

The children, mainly pupils of Lagos State primary and secondary schools, made the demand at the celebration, organised by two Non-Governmental Organisations – Fola Mola Global initiative and Archbishop JKA Aggey Foundation.

The pupils, at the event held at Primary Health Centre Amukoko, Lagos, said that an improved Nigerian society was necessary to guarantee a better future, for the younger generation to achieve their dreams.

November 20 of every year is set aside as the International Universal Children’s Day, to highlight the rights of children.

The celebration began in 1954 through a UN declaration, and the theme of the 2023 Universal Children’s Day celebration is “For every child, every right”.

The young Nigerians, treated like Queens and Kings by the organisers, thrilled guests with songs, dance, a quiz competition on the knowledge of Nigeria and recitations, to mark the day.

The children were rewarded with writing materials to support their education.

Grouped into four, of no fewer than 30 per group, with every group representing the names of the first indigenous Catholic Archbishop of Lagos , Archbishop Dr John Kwao Amuzu Aggey DD OON, that was John, Kwo, Amuze and Aggey, led by the group leaders, presented letters of their dream Nigeria to the organisers for onward presentation to the state.

Speaking during his letter presentation, Master Fawas Dawuda said he was desirous of a Nigeria devoid of insecurity, where everyone could be inspired to attain his or her goal in life.

Dawuda, a JSS 1 student of Alaba Oro Comprehensive Secondary School, said that a corruption-free Nigeria with good healthcare and better education systems was needed to grantee sustainability and youth confidence in the future.

Also speaking at the event, a representative of the Archbishop JKA Aggey Foundation, Taiwo Fadonugbo, advised the children on good behaviour and Patriotism to the country.

He said: “Show respect to the elderly and take ownership of public facilities, discourage others from vandalising them.

“Ensure you make the best of your school period and come out with good grades that your parents and community will be proud of.

“The future of this nation rests on your shoulders, it is expected that as young people you equip yourselves, practise leadership through community selfless-service works to encourage your peers on Patriotism”.

The Executive Director of Fola Mola Alhaja Folake Abdullsalam described a child as anyone under the age of 18, and tasked parents to ensure their protection.

She listed the four guilding principles of the convention on the rights of the child as: non discrimination, priority given to the best interest of the child, right to life, survival, development and respect for the views of the child.

Abdullsalam said that the programme was to make the children aware of their rights and ways to ensure they were not being trampled upon
