Fundraising for Copybooks for Kids. Can You Help?

As our school plans to reopen its academic doors to needy kids who will register to start school in September, we intend to give them free copybooks.

We are aware that many parents are going through financial difficulties, so we intend to provide this assistance to the kids so that the parents’ financial burden can be lessened.

Our plan is to give one dozen of copybooks to each student. A dozen of copybooks costs about $4.00, while half dozen is about $2.00.

We are therefore launching this fundraising to enable us help the kids with copybooks. We are appealing to all of you, both individuals and institutions of goodwill, to help us purchase copybooks for these children.

You may choose to buy a dozen or just a half dozen of copybooks. It is said that little is much to the needy.

For now, our target is 30 (thirty) students. However, should we raise more money than required for the 30 students, we will use the extra funds to cater to other children who may register later, or we may buy food and distribute it among the kids.

Just in case you wish to help the school to give free copybooks to these students, here are three different ways you could send your donation or contribution:

  1. You may send your contribution via our PayPal account, controlled by Mrs. Lena Thorne Marner and Mr. Anders Marner of Sweden.
  2. You may also send your contribution via Western Union or MoneyGram, using the name of one of our Board members, James Sumo.
  3. You may also use Send Wave, Taptap, or Western Union to send your donation directly to this MTN Mobile Money transfer number: +231881895978. It bears the name Paul Yeenie Harry.

We are appealing to you to join us in helping the kids with this back-to-school gift. Let’s help give a better future to these children.

Four Complete Kindergarten

Four students of our school, Help Liberia Foundation Community School, graduated from kindergarten last month when the school held its closing program.

The four kids were Assatu Barre, Samuel Peters, Faith Kewsi, and Ruth Toe. Their completion of the kindergarten division propels them to the elementary division, which starts with grade one (first grade).

We wish them well as they begin their primary schooling in September.

Thanks to all those who continue to help us to provide education to these needy kids, which is a platform to give them a better future.

Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

HLF School Puts Independence Day Smiles on the Faces of Students, Others

On Sunday, July 26 (Liberia’s 179th Independence Day), the campus of Help Liberia Foundation Community School in Buchanan was the scene of rice distribution.

The distribution, which comprised a total of eight (8) bags of rice, was an Independence Day gift to the students, teachers, parents, and others. The distribution came at the right time, as it was the only rice most recipients had as their 26th (Independence Day) food. Also, the distribution was necessary in that it helped most of them to only focus on the purchase of soup items for the day.

It was obvious to see not only the smiles and excitement on their faces, but also the appreciation on the faces of the recipients. Everyone expressed total appreciation for the distribution of the rice, especially on that historic day of Liberia’s existence.

One student remarked, “Thank you to HLF School and to Bro. George and Sis. Munah for the rice.”

A teacher, after receiving his ration of rice, said: “Thanks for the rice we received as our Independence Day’s gift. We (the students, teachers, and parents) really appreciate it. May God continue to bless you for thinking about us and for stretching your hands out to us. We are grateful. Once again, thanks, and Happy Independence Day.”

As indicated in one of our recent articles, the funds for the purchase of the rice was donated by George Wass and Munah Nimely Wass.

On behalf of the school, we wish to thank Mr. & Mrs. George Wass for their timely donation that made it possible for the purchase and distribution of the rice.
