Our school, Help Liberia Foundation Community School, located in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County, has ended a two-day teachers’ refresher workshop on the school campus.
The workshop, which was held on Monday and Tuesday – September 3rd and 4th, respectively – was aimed at feeding the teachers with some professional food that will enable them to professionally impact knowledge unto the children, as the school begins another academic year.
