As part of Let Love Lead's annual initiatives, Big Dawood, in collaboration with partners such as Palace Mall, Twellium Industrial Ltd and People Medical Centre, hosted a memorable Christmas celebration for the people of Suhum Otwe No. 2.

Generous donations from Palace Mall, ranging from bags of rice and gallons of cooking oil to cans of Milo, tomatoes, packs of biscuits, and assorted drinks, Natural Mineral Water, were distributed throughout the community. Ensuring inclusivity, widows in the community received special attention, being gifted brand-new clothes, shoes, and other items to make their Christmas truly unforgettable.

Beyond the donations, Let Love Lead prepared over 150 packs of food, fostering a festive atmosphere filled with dance and music. The event marked the first-ever Christmas party experience for many attendees, leaving smiles on the faces of all who participated.

Recognizing the vital importance of community health, Let Love Lead in collaboration with the People Medical Center in Spintex also organized a free medical screening exercise and health talk. This initiative provided community members with the opportunity to assess their health status and engage with professionals for solutions to their health-related concerns.

At the end of the celebrations, Big Dawood expressed heartfelt gratitude to the chiefs and people of Suhum Otwe No. 2 for their warm reception. He also extended gratitude to partners, Palace Mall, Twellium Industrial Ltd and People Medical Centre, for their invaluable support in making the Christmas celebration a success.
