In the spirit of the Christmas season and in a bid to spread love and leave a positive mark on society, Lemonytouch Events; a leading contractor in event planning, consulting and organisation is set to host the 10th edition of Touch A Life, Make A Difference (TALMAD).

Every year, TALMAD offers a platform for reflection on the course of the year, and a wholesome celebration of the Christmas season.

This year’s edition themed ‘A Christmas Cantata’ comes up on the 24th of December, 2023 by 3pm at the Grandeur Events Centre, Ikeja, Lagos.

Chief Executive Officer, Lemonytouch Events, Adeola Sessi-Traore, said that the primary drive behind TALMAD, is using the transformative power of Christmas to leave a lasting positive impact on the lives of participants. “Christmas is my favourite time of the year. It’s a time to reflect on how the year has been and spend time with family and friends. It however dawned on me that it’s just another day or season for some people, children and communities. I thought of how I could spend the season with people who aren’t family or how I can share the excitement of the season.”
“My major inspiration is making a difference in the lives of people especially at Christmas sharing the moments beyond my family, making other people happy.” she added.

She further noted that the event has recorded multiple success stories since its inception, by offering routes to financial empowerment, and healthcare initiatives: “The success stories we’ve recorded have been super massive! We once held a skills acquisition programme for the women of Oko Agbon. So beyond making a difference at Christmas, we empowered them to get skilled and make profits.”

“Every other year we do the Paper Angel, where we grant the wish list of over a hundred children. It’s such a joy to wish for an item and you get it. We have held medical outreaches in the Agege Community where we gave out free medications. It’s been really heartwarming” she added.

Mrs. Sessi-Traore, revealed that there were a number of plans in place to bring innovation to the landmark edition of Touch A Life, Make A Difference (TALMAD).

“I am pretty excited about this upcoming Edition as it’s our 10th Edition. We are bringing every orphanage we ever worked with and every community together under one roof, to have a Christmas Cantata, which will feature carols, presentations, granting wish lists of children and providing items for the homes. It is going to be memorable. The real excitement of Christmas, happening on Christmas Eve at Ikeja”
