Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>A United State and Liberian-based not-for-profit organization identified with underprivileged kids in Liberia during the Christmas season. The Kumba Foundation which focuses on the educational success of the youths of Liberia was heavily involved with handing gifts to children selling in the streets of Monrovia. They were also given financial assistance.<\/p>\n

Speaking to newsmen at one of the organizations\u2019 humanitarian outreaches, the Country Director Mr. Peter J. Vonyeegar said, the donation was institution\u2019s usual way of ending the year by giving back to the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do this every year by helping our mothers and fathers who can\u2019t afford to buy these Christmas gifts for their kids due to the fact that many of them are low-income earners and also facing disability challenges\u201d.<\/p>\n

Vonyeegar added that it is the group\u2019s Chief Executive Officer and Founder Mrs. Princess Guwor Vonyeegar\u2019s idea of goodwill and a heart for humanity that keeps this spanning each year.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we have our CEO & Founder whose interest is to see the kids in Liberia and Africa at large wear a smile at all times regardless of the economic hardship and bad governance on the continent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Kumba Foundation on the ground man asserted that an Educational Fund Drive was launched on November 29, 2021, in Buchanan Grand Bassa County to help kids stay in school amid covid.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe launched our Educational Fund Drive last November which will help many of these children stay in school and possibly turn into a scholarship scheme.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou, our media friends, will agree with us that things are extremely difficult nowadays and as a non-governmental organization, it is our duty to buttress national government\u2019s efforts in all areas of need\u201d.<\/p>\n

Vonyeegar continued that the organization will in 2022 host a run\/walk event in Boston, Massachusetts, the United States of America where hundreds of people will walk for sustaining the education of thousands of schools going kids in Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, next year, we the Kumba Foundation will stage one of the biggest purpose-walk in the United States where you will see high profile Americans in action for a cause that will have many of our kids remain in school amid high tuitions at their various schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also asking all Liberians living in that part of America to take up the courage and join us in March of 2022, as we do this for the motherland, Liberia.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, here is how you can register for our up-coming Run\/Walk if you are in the targeted location: Kindly head-over to our Facebook & Instagram accounts @thekumbafoundation Inc and follow us. At those social media sites, we communicate every detail of the event there daily. Please add us and let\u2019s become a family of helping the Educational Sector of our country Liberia\u201d.<\/p>\n

For their part, the receiving kids thanked the Kumba Foundation for such a gesture and called on Liberians to pay attention to similar cause. \u201cWe want to say thank you to the Kumba Foundation for giving us these beautiful gifts and for all the good, good things they are doing for our country Liberia.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo aunty Princess, we say may God bless you as you explain our situations to others for help, to that, we say thank you plenty and we hope to see more of your kind in Africa to help our friends who are also in need.\u201d<\/p>\n

For some of them, it is their very first experience. \u201cMany of us here right now haven\u2019t seen this before, where people will give us gifts as if we were their children, for such, we remain grateful\u201d.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Foundation\u2019s country Director Mr. Peter J. Vonyeegar has also unveiled that group is thinking on building an academy where kids whose parents can\u2019t afford will go and get quality education for free.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the moment, we are thinking on building an academy where all of our kids who are selling in the streets only because they don\u2019t have an opportunity to go to school, will one day find comfort and get education like other regular children\u201d. According to Mr. Vonyeegar, that is the Foundation\u2019s prime focus.<\/p>\n
