MONROVIA-An evangelist residing in the United States of America, Jamesetta Woods has made a huge donation to the educational sector of the country, through the provision of book bags and other educational supplies to school-going kids in upper Bong County.
Speaking during the distribution, in Central Bong County, Madam Woods noted that it is her passion to alleviate parents from the mountainous challenges they undergo in procuring these supplies for their kids.
She mentioned that it was her own way of coming to aid of parents in mitigating these challenges.
“I am aware of some of the difficulties most of our children along with their parents go through just to learn an ‘ABC,’ she observed.
“I can remember; back then before the wars in our country, some of our friends used to hold their copybooks in their bare hands just to go to school because their parents could not afford them. It is from this background that knowing very well that the same condition still exists, I decided to lobby with friends there in the US to help me intervene in their situation.
Speaking on behalf of the parents and the beneficiaries, a parent from Gonwoan, thanked the young Liberian Evangelist for the gesture.
Mr. Flomo said, “These are what we the parents of these little ones will always want to see our children grow for.
As they learn, they should not forget their homes, but to always remember to come back and give to society,” the aging man said in a rather appreciating tone.
The distribution of the school bags came on the back of a successful hosting of a one-day Children Feeding Program organized by Madam Woods in the Brewerville, Mango Town-YED Community near Monrovia.
It can be recalled that Evangelist Jamesetta Woods recently held a children’s feeding program in Brewerville aimed at sharing with children and some elderly people as part of the 2023 New Year Celebrations.
Hundreds of children in Montserrado had benefited from the gesture at the time before Madam Woods and her team could leave for Bong County in continuation of her humanitarian and evangelistic journey in central Liberia.
