MOST OF OUR CHILDREN NEEDY HELP : BEYOND MEET THE EYES.

A visit I made to some of our pupils' homes to know why they are not in school revealed so much. Indeed these children need urgent help.

Most of them do not come to school because not only due to lack of fees but food, clothes,sickness, sleeplessness just to mention a few. A good number sleep on the floor, very pathetic houses. Some are sick of malaria due to the recent heavy rains. We have plans to help at least 5 pupils from each class as from next year but this is still far too little as we continue to get more and more pupils everyday. This month alone, we have received 29 new pupils. Yet a good number of our old pupils are still loitering in the streets or are at home due to a number of reasons.
We are soon putting up a green house courtesy of a local donor and we hope this will help us to assist some of them. I wish to invite you and your friends to come up with ways to help these children. We are also having a fund raising soon to help these children.Most of the homes of our children are in the houses seen in the photos here below. A great pity.

fHLF School Introduces ID Use

Our school has introduced the use of identification (ID) cards by the children attending it. The kids started using the ID cards recently.

Since its establishment six years ago, it is the first time that the kids have begun using identification cards, and it will, henceforth, be part of the their regular dress code.

The kids were not only happy to take their pictures for the ID cards, they were also excited to receive the finished product from the school. They happily and proudly displayed them on their uniforms daily.

We extend special thanks to all those who are assisting us to do what we are doing for the kids in our school.

N-Dubz To Split In Two Years

bnv

British hip-hop trio N-Dubz are to split in two years time, according to rapper Dappy.

The group is currently on hiatus while singer Tulisa Contostavlos sits on the judging panel of Britain's The X Factor show, while Dappy concentrates on his solo material.

The stars have previously brushed off reports Replica Watchesthey're heading for a split - but now Dappy is predicting they will be "finished" by 2013.

He tells Britain's Daily Mirror, "The band is definitely going to quiet down for the next year-and-a-half to two years. We may release some stuff every six months but it will definitely be quieter. Then, at the end of that period, we will do a Greatest Hits or Best of N-Dubz. Then that'll be it: finished."

World Food Program Donates Dishes For HLF School Feeding Program

The World Food Program, WFP, has donated some dishes to our school in Buchanan, Help Liberia Foundation Community School.

The donated items include eating spoons, cooking spoons, plates, cups and a tub. The organization also gave some salt for the program.

The administration of the school expressed appreciation to the officials and staff of the World Food Program and appealed to them to continue assisting the school in its effort to provide hot meals for the kids.

It is important to point out that WFP usually donates food ration to us to enhance our school’s daily hot meal program. Although the food ration may not be much, it is regular – comes monthly. Food items given include burger wheat, beans, and vegetable oil, which are used to cook for the children daily, an arrangement that also helps to keep them in school, as most of them come from homes where only one meal is eaten per day.

Meanwhile, we are appealing to other individuals and institutions of good will to help us with funds or some other food items to augment our feeding program. We would like to buy fish and meat and prepare good soups for the kids. If possible, we would also like to start cooking rice for them.
