Father's Day at Susan Brown Foundation: games, dance, and a shared meal

On Father's Day in June 2026 (celebrated on 20 June according to our site record), the children at Susan Brown Foundation spent the day with Dr. ThankGod Amadi. The gathering was simple on purpose. No formal programme needed to make it matter. What the children received was time, attention, and company.

They played games. They danced. They sat down to a shared meal. For children living at our home on Eagle Island in Port Harcourt, those ordinary details are not small. A kind adult who shows up, joins the noise of play, and eats at the same table can turn an afternoon into a memory that stays.

Susan Brown Foundation was founded so orphaned and vulnerable children would have more than a roof. From the commissioning of the home in 2013 at 47 Collins Owhondah Drive, Eagle Island, our work has centred on shelter, schooling, care, and a sense of belonging. Days like Father's Day put that mission into motion you can see and hear: music, movement, food, and someone willing to be present.

Our children's home is the heart of that work in Port Harcourt, and it sits inside a wider commitment to children in Rivers State communities. Celebration days do not replace daily care. They remind the children, and the adults around them, that family feeling can be built through consistent kindness.

We are grateful to Dr. ThankGod Amadi for the hours he gave. Thank you also to everyone who helps make visits like this possible, from staff and volunteers to friends of the foundation who keep showing up for the children.
