Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Keyera\u2019s Gift, a non-governmental organization has awarded scholarships to over 155 students in five counties at an estimated cost of 110,000 United States Dollars.<\/p>\n

Country Representative Reverend Francis Kollie, who appeared very ill, said the scholarship also includes book bags, copybooks, uniforms, shoes and health insurance.<\/p>\n

Reverend Kollie made the disclosure when Keyera\u2019s Gift distributed books, book bags, pens and pencils to over 155 students in Paynesville, outside Monrovia during the weekend.<\/p>\n

He urged students, who are not performing well in their studies, to double up because they risk being dropped from the scholarship.<\/p>\n

Reverend Kollie thanked Madam Karen Ecklund and Kreig Ecklund of Keyara\u2019s Gift International for their support for children in Liberia.<\/p>\n

He said scholarships to students are intended to buttress the Pro-poor Agenda of the Liberian government.<\/p>\n

Students from five counties, including Montserrado, Margibi, Bong, Nimba and Grand Bassa are benefiting from the scholarship program.<\/p>\n

Responding on behalf of parents, Mrs. Maleay Karmoh thanked Keyera\u2019s Gift for providing scholars to their children, as the assistance will go a long way in impacting lives of the children.<\/p>\n

The distribution of school materials, including textbooks, bookbags, pens and pencils was graced by parents and employees of Keyera\u2019s Gift. Editing by Jonathan Browne<\/b><\/p>\n
