What inspired Victabee?
In 2007, I came across The Globe Magazine for the World’s Children Prize for the Rights of the Child (WCPRC)…….In this magazine, I got to know soooooooooooooooooooooooooo many people are homeless and hopeless….It was so difficult for me to assimilate the fact that someone could be homeless and I asked some questions no one was ready to give answers to. I asked? Who gave birth to these people? Do they have parents? Why will their parents abandon them or send them out of the house? Did they run away from home? Or their houses were demolished by the government? Or they couldn’t afford pay rent anymore? So many questions; the more I asked, the more confused I was….for some years, my questions were unanswered. Did I make research on these questions? Yes, but the answers I got were not satisfying, that one answer couldn’t have been their problem (simply because one problem cannot be the cause of EVERY HOMELESS PERSON’S PROBLEM)
Now, I sat down to think deeply…before any problem can be solved, you have to identify the problem, right? And this birthed the question, what does homeless mean? After a lot of research, I got to know homeless means without HOME….now this doesn’t really mean ‘house’ like I thought before;
Home is the place your heart belongs to, where your heart embraces and loves naturally, the only place you get support from with love and care, a place of happiness, where your love dwells, where you run to for protection when the storm comes, where you find peace, an abode, a space for beautiful ever lasting memories, a place to call home, a place you discover your weaknesses and strengths,
Now being homeless- it means no place to call home…no place of comfort, no space to feel loved or embraced, no space to think reasonably, no space to fulfill those big dreams, no one can be trusted, no one to seek for advice, NO ONE CARES, no one thinks you exist…..when this is the case, frustration comes in, setbacks, failure, negativity, the mindset to revenge, the beast in one becomes pregnant and ready to birth Anger! Evil! Destruction! Wrath!
NO ONE deserves to go through this! It is detrimental to oneself and the world hence the birth of Victabee’s World…it focuses on the less privileged children, women and youths who are HOMELESS. It ensures less privileged children, women and youths are enlightened through Quality Education (formal and informal), Entrepreneurship, Employability and Empowerment
Wow, I never thought about the definition of homeless like that. That is eye opening. Where is your non profit located?
Thank you, Shaunte. My non profit is located in Nigeria
Very inspiring post, I love what the name means.
Thank you, Carolyn ❤
I loved this! I have been homeless and I do everything I can to give back! People don’t realize that homelessness goes far beyond the material, it definitely affects a person’s mental state. Great read!
It’s good to know you do everything you can do give back not minding the fact that you’ve got so little…..you haven’t allowed yourself to be hindered by the little….
I agree with you; it goes far beyond the material. Keep making that difference….your little is def enough
Thanks Bri ❤
Love everything about this! Helping the world one step at a time
Thank you, Hadassah <3. Yes, I agree with you….one step at a time :*
This is such a great cause to work for!
Thank you, Danielle :*
I love the meaning of the name and thank you for your great cause. Some people just don’t know how tough it can be homeless but bless you for having a heart.
Thank you, Eboni. Yes, most people do not care at all…so sad 😦 but according to Mahatma Gandhi, we should be the change we wish to see…..with this in mind, the world will be a peaceful zone
Once again, thanks for stopping by :*
wow, powerful read
Thank you, Pj :*
Your definition of homeless is definitely profound,I have had that feeling before but not because I couldn’t afford a home but because I felt alone. People ask me why do I visit poor people, I say because they appreciate it more. Great Job victoria
Yes Scottie, I agree with you; it’s a reeling of loneliness and then there’s no one to share with because no one seems to get it 😦
Please keep doing just that; visiting the poor :*
Thank you Mz Scottie ❤
There are many people and organizations doing something to help these people, this world is unfair and is up to us to make a change or to spread the word about these issues. I believe you’ll be interested in this talented photographer story when working on an organization that helps these people in need in Venezuela: http://www.mundusurfer.com/the-two-faces-of-human-materialism.html
Thank you, Fernando 🙂
Sounds like a great cause. The education and empowerment of women and children is always a smart investment for the future.
Thank you, Jacque. Yes, I agree with you :*
This is towards a better world..Amazing. Change begins here & now..!
Yes, it sure does, Ravi. Thanks 🙂
No place to call home, no one cares, no one thinks you exist..isn’t it a form of death? totally separated from love and cares that we as human being need. I really admire you for taking action with your calling. I hope each of us could make a difference with whatever gift that we had. Thank you so much for your big heart.
Thank you, Anne. I agree with you; I wish everyone could use whatever gifts they had to make that big difference positively
