On October 22, 2023, Reverend Father Awulu Innocent Arome CSSp, a paragon of compassion and dedication, marked a significant milestone in his journey of service to humanity by launching the Practical Living in Christ Humanitarian Foundation, a testament to his enduring faith and deep-rooted desire to alleviate the suffering of those in need.

The day began with the promise of new beginnings, as friends, dignitaries, and distinguished guests gathered to witness the realisation of Father Awulu's vision. As the sun's golden rays fell on the globe, the atmosphere was packed with expectation and joy, echoing the notion that this was no ordinary occasion, but rather a celebration of unlimited compassion and selflessness.

During a solemn mass presided over by Reverend Father Awulu on the launching day of the foundation, the essence of generosity was eloquently expressed via impassioned prayers and soul-stirring hymns. In his moving homily, Father Awulu emphasised the inextricable link between humanity and compassion, emphasising the transformative power of true acts of kindness that come from the heart. Following Saint Mother Theresa of Calcutta, Fr. Awulu asserts that our mission is to reach out to one or two people in need one step at a time, using the little available resources at hand, rather than trying to solve all human problems at once or requiring a large amount of money before acting.

The unveiling of the Practical Living in Christ Humanitarian Foundation heralded a new chapter in the annals of philanthropy, symbolized by vibrant t-shirts, caps, and an outpouring of donations from the assembled throng. It was a moment of unity and solidarity, as individuals from all walks of life came together in support of a noble cause, transcending barriers of class, creed, and nationality.

Reflecting on his sixteen-year journey in the Lord's vineyard, Father Awulu credited the foundation's success to divine providence and his constant devotion to the welfare of others. With humility and gratitude, he appreciated the community's important assistance as well as the relentless efforts of individuals who shared his goal of a compassionate and empathic world.He promised and reassured all donors, supporters, volunteers, benefactors and benefactresses, friends and well -wishers home and abroad of the judicious use of their generous supports and never to betray their trust!

The Practical Living in Christ Humanitarian Foundation's mission is based on a deep understanding of the many issues that humanity faces in the present period. From the scourge of poverty and disease to the insidious grasp of human trafficking and the threat of terrorism, the foundation serves as a beacon of hope in the face of adversity, providing comfort and assistance to society's most vulnerable citizens.

Father Awulu noted eloquently, "Our response to the signs of our times must be guided by a creative fidelity to the charism entrusted to us by God." It is a call to action that goes beyond rhetoric, challenging everyone to hear the cries of the marginalised and oppressed and work for lasting change through practical and evangelical means.

In the midst of darkness, the Practical Living in Christ Humanitarian Foundation shines as a beacon of light, illuminating the path to a brighter, more compassionate future for all. It is a testament to the indomitable spirit of humanity and the transformative power of love, reminding us that hope endures even in our darkest hours.

The establishment of the Practical Living in Christ Humanitarian Foundation is a triumph of the human spirit, a testament to the enduring power of faith, and a beacon of hope for future generations. As we embark on this journey together, let us heed the call to love and serve one another, for the embrace of charity contains the true essence of our humanity.
