Dr Yolanda George-David,Founder of AUNTLANDA’S BETHEL FOUNDATION which is out to counsel and empower children is said to have 300 hundred centres across Lagos with two counselors each.
Speaking with Titi and Tomi , she said;
“We are more like a shopping mall. When you come, we deal with emotional issues, physical issue, psychological and psycho-social issues. We reach out to kids everyday and some days could be very busy. Everybody have been in one way or the other either sexually, physically or emotionally abused in their life time and we have a rescue team that rescue those facing such situations. “

when asked what drives her to help others, she said:
” I have been sick all my life so I know what pain is. Yes am a doctor but this is my life and the whole idea is that everyone goes to bed relieved of his or her pain.”
Speaking further to advise those who have issues, she mentioned that her organisation is open to all.
“We are not saying you won’t have hard days, but when you reach us, we would go through the hard times together.”
