Mr. Mandell made the donation of pens, pencils, erasers, rules, writing pads, and other items while on a visit to Liberia to mark the first-year anniversary of the Liberia School of Law (LSL), which opened its doors on November 4, 2024 as the second law school in Liberia.<\/p>\n

Presenting the supplies to the students and faculty of the elementary division of St. Mary\u2019s Catholic School in Sanniquellie, Nimba County, Mandell praised the school for producing graduates that have gone on to hold important positions in the government of Liberia. In particular, Mandell pointed to Retired Chief Justice Francis Korkpor as an example of St. Mary\u2019s graduates who have served Liberia, and called on the students to follow in Korkpor\u2019s footstep of national service.<\/p>\n

Korkpor, who serves along with Mandell on the LSL Board of Trustees as Chairman, said the donated supplies will go a long way in helping the students improve and maintain their academic performance. He extended his \u201csincere appreciation\u201d to Mandell on behalf of the school and all its alumni.<\/p>\n
