The Kumba Foundation Partners with Cavala Scientific LLC to feed over fifty Liberian kids
Monrovia – As Liberians remain challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic, many patriotic diaspora Liberians are expressing concern by making interventions through donations of food and other items.
The Kumba Foundation and Cavala Scientific, LLC, two US-based organizations were the latest to put smiles on the faces of scores of Liberian orphans.
The two organizations were seen over the weekend giving assorted food items to the Calvary Orphanage Mission School in Barnesville Township outside Monrovia.
Making remarks on behalf of the Kumba Foundation and Cavala Scientific LLC, the group’s focal person in Liberia said the donation is a way of identifying with less fortunate people during COVID-19.
Peter Vonyeegar, who is a Liberian journalist, said that the organizations are particularly concerned about the survivability of Liberians during this difficult time of human existence.
“We the Kumba Foundation and Cavala Scientific LLC would love to support the Government in such a time where Liberians are asked to stay home for a time being,” Vonyeegar said.
“Knowing fully well that many of our people live below a dollar a day, it is a fact that life would be extremely difficult for thousands of Liberians in these times, and that’s where we come in to help”.
Vonyeegar asserted that the organizations are focused on wanting to better the lives of each Liberian youth through its “We Care” campaign.
“So, we began this campaign couple of months ago where we raised funds for educational programs such as scholarships scheme, helping a child to be beautifully attired while in school, allowing a child to have access to lunch, giving them backpacks, pencils, reading books and others,” he said. “It is our vision that every Liberian youth realize their full potentials through education”.
Accepting the items, Mr. Alexander Stemn, Director of the Calvary Mission School, expressed his excitement about the gesture and said that it’s first of its kind to be given other food items apart from rice donation.
