New Sponsors Donate Funds for Purchase of Rice

Two new sponsors of our school in Buchanan have made a cash donation for the purchase of rice for the kids, the teachers, and other potential beneficiaries.

The two donors are a married couple, George Wass and Munah Nimely Wass. Munah is originally from Liberia, while George is a US citizen. They got married and are happily living together in the United States. Munah works with refugees and immigrants, while George works as a construction project manager.

George and Munah

The couple’s decision to help a Liberian school for poor children was heavily and undoubtedly influenced by Munah, and we are grateful to her for that positive and humanitarian influence on George.

A few days after publishing the last article about the purchase and distribution of seven bags of rice for the kids, teachers, as well as some parents and community residents, based on funds donated by our Norwegian sponsors, led by Sissel Lavoll Martinsen, George and Munah contacted HLF School, informing us about their desire to also purchase some rice for the same purpose.

A day or so later, they transferred $150 via our PayPal account on this (HLF School) website.Because the school closes this week, we have planned to purchase and distribute it as a July 26th (Liberia’s Independence Day) gift to the kids and the others on Saturday, July 25th. The announcement has already been made.

Our heart-felt thanks to George and Munah for this humanitarian gesture.
