Tomorrow, 6th June 2026, White Angels Foundation will be in Obudu, Cross River State for our medical outreach in celebration of Intnl Albinism Awareness Day (Jun 13)
As I sit here writing this, my heart is carrying so many emotions.
For the first time in 8 years since founding WAF, a physical event will be happening in my absence.
Eight years ago, I started this journey with a simple desire to ensure that children with albinism and their families never felt alone. Since then, I have travelled roads, sat with families, shared tears, laughter, fears and victories. Every outreach carried a piece of my heart because I was physically present to witness the impact.
Tomorrow will be different.
I will not be there in person, but perhaps this moment is also a reminder that what we have built together has grown beyond one person. White Angels Foundation was never just about me. It has always been about a community of people choosing kindness, understanding and support for children with albinism.
Our theme this year is "Proudly In My Skin" a simple but powerful reminder that every skin tone deserves to be celebrated, respected and protected.
Children with albinism do not need to become someone else to be accepted. They do not need to hide. They do not need to shrink themselves to fit into society. They deserve to walk boldly in their own skin, knowing they are worthy, beautiful and enough exactly as they are.
As we celebrate, we must also remember the importance of regular eye and skin checks for persons with albinism. These are not luxuries. They are necessities.
Tomorrow, we will provide eye screenings, vision support, sunscreen, education, food and a safe space for connection. Most importantly, we will remind every child and family present that they matter.
To our Obudu families, thank you for opening your hearts to us.
To our volunteers and partner , thank you for carrying this vision forward.
And to every person with albinism reading this
Your skin is not a limitation.
Your skin is not something to apologise for.
Stand tall.
Protect your health.
Dream boldly.
You have every right to be proudly in your skin.
