Gathered by the volunteers of the association, hundred children in difficulty or living in the streets of the capital city of Abidjan, converged to the neighborhood of Deux Plateaux in the town of Cocody, to live the magic of Christmas.
Overall, it’s over 1.2 million CFA francs (over 2000 USD) worth of clothes, bags, shoes, etc. that both Africa Internet Group’s ventures have offered to the kids present and to those who remained at the shelter homes.
