Nollywood actress, Empress Njamah marked her birthday at The Druz Garden in Maitama, Abuja, with hundreds of children from orphanages on Sunday, December 14, 2014.
In her remarks at the event, the CEO of House of Empress said the move was inspired by her desire to reach out to the less privileged, a feeling she has nursed from childhood.
‘It all comes from the love I have for kids; this is something I like to do and my mum is not surprised that I am doing it today. I have always had a passion for kids. It’s like we are a big family; my mum is the mother of us all and I am their aunty and big sister,’ Empress said.
Not done without passing a message to fellow celebs, she said: ‘You have not given until you give to someone who can’t repay you; a lot of us don’t understand what charity is all about but with so very little we can put smiles on the faces of these kids; we need to make these kids know that we need and love them.’
Present at the celebration were celebrities including actors and musicians like Fred Amata, Charles Inojie, Jaywon, Benson Okonkwo among a host of others including Empress’ mum, Mrs. Njamah.
The children were drawn from a number of orphanage homes including Hope For Survival Orphanage and Treasure Orphanage.
