Hon. Amb. Sobomabo Jackrich (JP), a.k.a Egberipapa is a household name across the Niger Delta. He is known as a dogged/passionate freedom fighter and a colossus of human rights activism. He was among the few Niger Delta fighters that championed the cause which successfully enthroned the first Niger Delta-born Vice President/President of Nigeria through radical agitation/activism for the recognition of the oil-producing states of the country. Despite his dogged personality as a freedom fighter, he a passionate leader, philanthropist, humanitarian, accessible and above all, God-fearing.
The Christ Meal for Children is one of the initiatives of Egberipapa to love, support, and care for children as Christ instructed in Matthew 18:10 (“Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.”).
The first edition of Christ Meal for Children took place at the country home of Hon. Amb.
