In the heart of Bamenda, a beacon of hope for disabled and vulnerable children began to take shape, marking the birth of the Global Initiative for Disease Inclusive Society (GIDICS). Let’s journey back to the roots of this transformative organization, tracing the creation and inauguration that set it on its impactful course.
**Co-Founder Extraordinaire: Mrs. Ambo Loveline Mbakwa**
At the helm of this remarkable endeavor is Mrs. Ambo Loveline Mbakwa, a visionary co-founder with a heart dedicated to creating positive change. Her passion for inclusivity and advocacy laid the foundation for what would become a haven for children facing unique challenges.
**Inauguration Day: September 11, 2022**
On the historic day of September 11, 2022, the atmosphere buzzed with anticipation and excitement. The occasion was not just the inception of GIDICS but the genesis of NECTAR, the nurturing entity from which GIDICS would spring forth.
The day commenced with a soul-stirring church service at PCC Ntakehkah, where prayers and blessings were extended to the organization. This spiritual foundation set the tone for what would be a day of significance, not just for GIDICS but for the entire community.
**A Grand Inauguration: A Blessing from Bamenda 3 Major**
Following the church service, the inauguration unfolded with grandeur. The Bamenda 3 Major officiated the proceedings, symbolizing the endorsement and support of the local government. The air was filled with excitement as the community witnessed the formal commencement of an initiative that would become a lifeline for disabled and vulnerable children.
**Celebration Amidst Community Support: A Day of Unity**
The joy of the occasion was palpable, reverberating through the cheers of a special church group, the warmth of families and friends, and the presence of esteemed invitees. The event was graced not only by the disabled and vulnerable children but also by support groups and well-wishers who believed in the power of creating an inclusive society.
**A Pivotal Moment for NECTAR and GIDICS**
The inauguration of GIDICS marked not just a new beginning but a commitment to a future where every child, irrespective of ability, is given the opportunity to flourish. This pivotal moment was the catalyst for NECTAR, a nurturing force, and subsequently, the birth of GIDICS, the organization that would carry the torch forward.
As we reflect on this significant day, we celebrate the visionaries, the community, and the collective commitment that made GIDICS a reality. This is more than the creation of an organization; it’s the planting of seeds of hope, inclusivity, and transformative change.
