Donations made
The annual children’s Christmas
party was carried out as usual. In
view of the security situation of the
country, the venue of the event was
changed and the children had their
party without much publicity. It went
very well and they children were
happy that it wasn’t cancelled.
- Change of Name
One of our trustees, formerly known
as Fr Isidore Nnamdi Obi, has in the
last one year changed his name by
Deed Poll. He is now officially known
as Nnam Di Obi, while still retaining
his priestly title of Reverend Fr.
Therefore, he shall henceforth be
addressed in his new names in all
the charity actions and
documentation.

Appointed new Trustees and
Treasurer
Considering the loss of two trustees
who stepped down the previous
year, Peter Burrows and Ellen
Olutunmogun, the trustees have
appointed three more trustees to
add to what we already had.
Namely: Christine Obiero, Yuri
Fernandes, Obinna Esiowu and
Christian Nwachukwu. In addition to
the two trustees who have been
there already, Fr Nnam Di Obi and
Crispiniana Baquero, we have six
trustees at the moment, which has
added strength and vigour to the
work of the charity.| |-|Magnus Anyanwu was appointed as| |---|---| ||a representative in Nigeria| ||He has been appointed as a| ||representative for Achieve Africa in| ||Nigeria. He is a student who helps to| ||mobilise young people and carries| ||out little projects of Achieve Africa| ||which benefits children and young| ||people.

He is Mr Lawrence Chigbo| ||Ogueri. He lost his sight while he| ||was in secondary school due to poor| ||health and medical access. This| ||didn’t stop him. He attended special| ||school for the blind to complete his| ||secondary education; obtained his| ||First degree and Masters| ||programmes in one of the| ||universities in Nigeria. It was at this| ||point we encountered him. He| ||approached Achieve Africa and| ||requested to be sponsored for his| ||PhD programme in the University of| ||Nigeria Nsuka. According to him,| ||this would give him the rare chance,| ||as a visually impaired young man, to| ||get a job, especially, a lecturing job| ||in the university. This will also place| ||him in a position to support other| ||physically challenged young people| ||in his situation, especially in the| ||areas of advocacy.| Mr Lawrence Ogueri was granted a full scholarship by Achieve Africa for at least four years, which started last years, 2022. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: Para 1.41 ## **Financial Review** |||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s
