On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, our school in Buchanan, Help Liberia Foundation Community School, purchased some rice and carried out its distribution on the campus.

It was a day of positive surprise and joy for the kids and the others who benefited, as they were not given any prior information about the distribution. The kids especially were excited when the rice arrived, and they were told that it was for them. A total of seven bags of rice was purchased.

The purchase of the rice was made possible through a cash donation from Sissel Martinsen and her friends in Norway.

The children went home excited and joyful on that day, as they left with their plastic bags full of rice. It was really a positive initiative, especially considering the difficult economic condition generally experienced by parents.

We are grateful to Sissel and her friends who provided the funds that made it possible for us to have purchased and distributed the rice. Thank you, Sissel! And please extend our gratitude to your friends who contributed.

Note: There will be another article about the others who benefited.

About two weeks ago, we posted Part I of a pictorial of kids and teachers at Help Liberia Foundation Community School. Today, we are posting Part 2, showing the kids and the teachers in various settings or activities.

Thanks to you all for helping us to educate these underprivileged kids.

In spite of the changes that dropped the student enrollment this academic year, the school is still operating, the students continue to learn, and the kids and the teachers continue to interact.

Here are a few photos showing students and teachers.

A lot of things were done between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025; however, there are two things that we consider the two major achievements of the year.

The first milestone achievement was the fixing of a flush toilet within the school main building for the use of both the kids and the staff. It was a super major achievement in 2025. And we are grateful to all those who donated toward the project.

The second major achievement of the year was the Board’s decision to have reversed its decisions changing the school’s name from Help Liberia Foundation Community School to Future Leaders Academy and increasing the school fees. The decision to go back to the original name and go back to the poor-children-school status was not only bold, mature, selfless, and responsible, but it was also poor-children-oriented, especially the fact that the reversal was done in less than two months of the announcement of the new policy. We are happy we reversed those decisions. We are also grateful to all the individuals whose words and actions caused us to realize the mistakes and to swiftly correct it.

Thanks to all for helping us to end 2025 quite well!

Happy New Year!
