Due to the economic hardship being experienced by many children and their parents in Liberia at present, many parents have not been able to register their children for the new school year.

Many, many kids have not started school because of the situation, and they may not even go to school this year, if nothing is done to change the situation around. If parents are unable to pay registration fees for their kids, how will they be able to pay the yearly tuition that many schools are charging?

Even for Help Liberia Foundation School, which charges a small fee for registration, the parents of the kids who attend the school are also still unable to register their kids, which is a serious problem facing many parents this year.

It is our hope that individuals and institutions of good will see the need to help these underprivileged kids to get their education.

For us at HLF School, a school that is established to help as many poor kids as possible to go to school, we will be able to take in many of these kids if we are able to get assistance from sponsors willing to help with the payment of teachers’ salaries. We need about $200 (two hundred United States Dollars) per month for teachers’ salaries.

We would appreciate any assistance from any individual or group in this direction, as we all try to help poor kids in Buchanan City go to school and have a better future.

Our school in Buchanan City, Help Liberia Foundation Community School, is blessed with committed teachers who care for and interact with the kids.

It is important for kids to learn in a conducive environment, and that conducive environment includes friendly, but professional, interaction with the students.

One positive aspect associated with the operation of our school in Buchanan City, Grand Bassa County, is that the school has committed and loving teachers who are willing to help the kids obtain their education.

The kids whom we accept and help at the school are kids who come from poor background or whose parents are unemployed, and we are proud and happy that we have caring and committed teachers who are willing, ready and able to teach the kids.

Although our teachers are not receiving huge salaries at the end of the month because of limited resources, they still give themselves willingly to help the kids get their education, as they are aware that people’s lives can be changed though education, and children can have a better future as a result of education.

In a P-T.A meeting held at the school in May of this year, a female parent stood up and said, “I want to thank the teachers in this school because since my two children entered Help Liberia Foundation Community School, they have improved in their lessons. I am seeing the difference between this school and the first school my children attended. I am encouraging the teachers to please continue the good work.”

Indeed, we are proud of our teachers for helping us to develop these kids for a better future.

Special thanks and appreciation go to all of our Swedish friends and sponsors who are contributing some funds through Lena Thorne Marner and Anders Marner every month to help with teachers’ salary payment.
