Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Citizens of Sarkonedu, a town located on the outskirt of Voinjama have broken ground for the first high school in Quardu-Gboni district. Since the establishment of Quardu-Gboni District in 2004, it is yet to boast of a high school in that region.<\/p>\n

On April 27 2021, a heavy storm destroyed several homes in Sarkonedu and its only junior high leaving several homeless and hundreds of school-going children out of school. It is in this vein that the citizens of Sarkonedu under the banner Sarkonedu Development Organization launched a campaign to construct a state-of-the-art high school and vocational center in the district.<\/p>\n

The building project, if completed, will include 19 classrooms, five offices, a cafeteria, 10 bathrooms, storerooms, a library, science laboratory, auditorium, and vocational center amongst others.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Lofa District #4 Representative, Mariamu Fofana thanked the people of Sarkonedu for such an initiative describing the project as the best initiative for the enlightenment of the district and county at large.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have done so many things and our forefathers have done a lot in Quardu-Gboni but this is the first time for us to do such a huge project,\u201d Representative Fofana added.<\/p>\n

Representative Fofana who donated two thousand United States dollars as her initial contribution stressed the need for parents to take charge of the enrolment at the proposed school.<\/p>\n

\u201cSchool is not the building as such parents must ensure that they encourage their children to go to school,\u201d she asserted. The District #4 lawmaker who is the chair on education at the house of representative noted that if children are educated, the society and its people will benefit.<\/p>\n

Serving as the guest of honor, the Political leader of the All Coalition Party, ALCOP, Loseneh Kamara expressed joy for being part of the Sarkonedu Public ground breaking ceremony.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kamara said he is very impressed that the people of Sarkonedu are thinking about the future generation who are the children.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kamara who was gowned and appreciated for his contribution to the Mandingo and Muslim community added that the future of this country must be secure through quality education.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have always told my friends that we must secure the future of this country and one way is through quality education,\u201d he argued.<\/p>\n

He asserted that if children are precious jewel as people say then they must be prioritized and that\u2019s what we are seeing in Sarkonedu Today.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to congratulate the people of Sarkonedu for taking up the initiative to rebuild their school after it was destroyed by storm few months ago, he asserted.<\/p>\n

The ALCOP political leader also challenged citizens of Quardu-Gboni to work together as unity breeds development.<\/p>\n

Mr. Loseneh Kamara who also officially broke ground for the project donated three thousand United States dollars ($us3,000) and three hundred (300) bags of cement after previous contribution of one hundred bags of cement and 16 shovels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we have seen in Sarkonedu today, we want to call on all Lofa citizens to emulate similar example for quality education and development,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

For his part, the president of Sarkonedu Development Organization in the Americas, Dr. Kesselly Kamara lauded the citizens of Sarkonedu for taking up the challenge to build a new school after a devastating storm.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited not because this is happening but for the fact that it is being initiated by the people of Sarkonedu making a vital decision for future impacts,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n

He called on the national government, international partners, and all well-meaning Liberians in Liberia and the diaspora to rally for the success of what he described as the academic renaissance of Quardu-Gboni and Lofa county at large.<\/p>\n
