\u201cEducation is important and when the opportunity arises everyone should be prepared irrespective of his or her current condition. I encourage the kids to go to school. The journey is not easy, but try, you can. Don\u2019t be afraid to exercise your strength and courage, because you can and thanks to all the beautiful students here today,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to the striving students, we are one because education has no end. I\u2019m still learning as we speak. To the teachers thank you for the dedication to impact knowledge on our little ones. To the administrators, the church, and Bishop, NEKTAA can\u2019t thank you all enough for the maintenance and upkeep of the program. NEKTAA holds You all in high esteem. The community has kept the dream and legacy of our late Bishop Dixon Sr. alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said the organization continues to of the many needs, adding that the organization will try in its little way to help, assist, and or do meaningful things in New Kru Town.<\/p>\n

\u201cNEKTAA is announcing now that it will soon embark on a hand pump project for the community. These efforts are a start move, and we can do better when we support our organization, she added.<\/p>\n

Receiving the items on behalf of the student, Joshua Sehkehporh, principal of the school, appreciated NEKTAA for identifying with them.<\/p>\n

He said the kids\u2019 footwear have been damaged by the rain and the intervention by the organization was timely.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very delighted to have you people here because you thought on the people who others have overlooked. I am happy you brought these things for us. We see it as good and pray that you will be blessed so that you can continue to remember us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
