INTRODUCTION
I want to thank God Almighty for

learned about up-skills my
knowledge and the leadership.

and the wider community. During the 202312024 period, we connected with
other communrty groups, with local authorities, funders to continue interact and
help people for the public benefit.
We realized that there were many challenges in front of us. But being tO8ether

many opportunities. We want to take this opportunity to work harder with
dedication and responsibility for the benefit of the many people.

BACKTO WORK
My name is Afiku. For rnore than two years I didn't work because
my documents were missing. I didn't have a house to live in. I
moved frorn one house to another, because I didn't have money to
buy food and to pay my rent. My life was very difficult.
One time I came to the ETAP office at Northfield Road. I met with
the coordinator. I told him all the stories. Then, he took me to the
police station at Thorpe Road and he requested the police to make
a lost property letter. The next day, ETAP volunteers took me to the
Portuguese Consulate in London and made a passport and ID. After
18Ot all the documents back, I was very happy. Now I back to work
in a shop because ETAP has helped me. My live is change now. I
also do a voluntary work with ETAP.
