Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The Chief Executive Officer of the Kouh Foundation, Cassell Kouh, has identified with over 500 residents of New Georgia Community. Cassell Kouh, on Friday, December 22, 2023, presented rice, oil, and bedsheets to elderly women and youth within his childhood community, New Georgia.<\/p>\n

Kouh recently got released from prison in the United States of America for fraud but said identifying with his people during the Christmas season is his way of appreciating the women for their prayers during his difficult time.The former Liberia Football Association Vice President for Operations presented over 500 bags of rice, 50 cartons of oil, and bedsheets valued over one million Liberian dollars as his way of helping his people during the Christmas celebration in Liberia.<\/p>\n

Presenting the food items, Cassell said, \u201cIf I eat during this holiday, I need to give to the needy. I\u2019m here today, and I feel there is no better way to identify with you rather than this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter being away for almost seven years in prison, I always remember you people, especially our mothers, and I believe it is because of your prayers that God safely brought me back home. So I decided that I will come home and give back to you people and appreciate you for praying for me,\u201d Kouh said.<\/p>\n

Kouh, who is now a devoted Christian, said, \u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for your prayers, I wouldn\u2019t be here today. It is not only because of Ma Theresa\u2019s prayer but Ma Theresa and all the women of this community and the people in Liberia, so I appreciate all of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was in prison, sometimes we faced difficulties and lay down with no bedsheets. So when I came home, I lay down on my bedsheets, tears came from my eyes, and I thought, \u2018I am in the comfort of my bedsheets.\u2019 So, I came today and will be giving you rice, oil, and bedsheets. That bedsheets symbolize peace, the peace I have right now sleeping on my bedsheets. I will be giving a bedsheets so that when you sleep on it, you know that your son is back in peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, making such a presentation is not to show he has money but to be grateful for the prayers they offered him during his time in prison.<\/p>\n

Speaking on behalf of the over 500 beneficiaries, Sonnie Kollie thanked Kouh for his timely gesture. She appreciated God for setting Cassell Kouh free after seven years in an American prison.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to tell God thank you for our son. When Cassell was here, he grew up here as a child, so what happened to him hurt us as mothers. And all our prayers were for him to come back to us, and we are happy he is back and decided to give us gifts this season.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue to pray that he will do more for us because he is a man who has a heart for his people,\u201d Madam Sonnie Kollie told the media.<\/p>\n\r\n
