Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The Precious Pearl Ireland Foundation (PPIF), in partnership with the Sustainable Empowerment for Economic and Environmental Development (SEED), has certified 24 graduates in psychological counseling, child protection, and the theory and practice of advocacy.<\/p>\n

The foundation is named in honor of the late Precious Ireland, the 16-year-old who died by a gunshot wound her schoolmate, Jovanus Oliver Turay at the Cyber-Ed Christian School of Excellence, a private Christian-based institution.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are glad that God allows us to be used to turn a grievous situation into a situation that can benefit many,\u201d Rita Ireland, founder and executive director, PPIF. \u201cIt is our prayer that we all work together in this collaboration to ensure our children’s safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

The foundation provides training and work institutions to address child bullying in school, and trauma to prevent children from falling prey to such a regretful incident.<\/p>\n

Ireland, who is also the mother of the deceased added that due to Liberia\u2019s past history, children and adults are suffering from psychological impacts that must be addressed immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the foundation, we are concerned about the wellbeing of children and we say it is paramount in society and Liberia is not an exception,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

According to her, the children of Liberia, like in many parts of the world, deserve an environment where they can grow, learn, and play without fear of violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe society of Liberia children in schools and communities is a multi-complex challenge that requires a holistic approach. Liberia has made a tremendous effort through the Ministry of Education to ensure the protection of children.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Ireland noted that there is still work to be done and called on the government to work with partners to address it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important for the government, civil society, and international organizations to protect the country\u2019s most vulnerable members by providing a safe and nurturing environment. Liberia can empower its children to thrive to contribute positively to the development and progress of our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

V. Roosevelt Cassell, executive director\/Lead Trainer, SEED, noted that providing psychological support to children is important because it helps to ensure that they are not just good citizens, but very impactful.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am grateful that God has blessed me with the edge to impact both adults and kids. Most of us don\u2019t know what it means to sit and counsel our children and today our children are going astray,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He strongly recommended that the children\u2019s law be taught in all schools and that both parents and teachers are knowledgeable about the law, so \u201cthat every teacher in the classroom has an understanding of what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all hope that these graduates and others who will come as we transcend to the next stage of diploma, all of you can be part.\u201d<\/p>\n

For her part, Felecia Somah, Assistant Minister, Bureau of Basic and Secondary Education at the Ministry of Education, encouraged the graduates to utilize the knowledge and skills gained from the program.<\/p>\n

She pledged the government\u2019s full support to the program. \u201cIt is with heartfelt pleasure that I stand to present the history and impact of this program. The program has witnessed collaborative efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n
