It all started on 15 October, 2022 when my colleagues at the office [IGR] helped me with the name MaMJGEF. November 11 we had a dedication service and on the 14 [his mother\u2019s birthday] we officially launched the Foundation,\u201d he intimated.<\/p>\n<p>The ED added: \u201cLet\u2019s treat our future leaders [beneficiaries] with the utmost seriousness. I admonish the parents to give their children the required attention. It\u2019s our obligation to take care of them; you have a big role to play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have 1000s of children out there looking for similar opportunities. So let\u2019s care for our children by setting high standards. My mother was passionate about education so she never settled for less. See where I am today; giving back to society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo my future leaders, please take your education seriously. Concentrate on your studies. If your parents are making the effort for your education, and MaMJGEF is supporting you, please ensure you focus on your education; do your best to achieve your goals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything about life is for you to give back to society. You don\u2019t have to be rich to help others. No matter how little, if you decide to help others you will be able to create the required impact in society,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Ganawah said the package for the children was evenly distributed, saying eight of the forty-two beneficiaries were not even going to school. He said they saw them around when they were doing their outreach and enrolled them into various schools.<\/p>\n<p>He told the gathering that they hope to have 500 children by September 2023. \u201cWe are planning to go to other parts of the country, especially deprived communities to get the less privileged. We hope to get 15000 children by 2028,\u201d the MaMJGEF ED pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>He continued that the money for the Foundation comes from different individuals who always subscribe to the scheme. \u201cWe spent over 60 million Leones to put the packages together, thanks to all those who have been supporting the Foundation\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Executive Director of MaMJGEF, Mohamed I.J. Ganawah ended by appreciating his volunteers who worked day and night to put the programme together, describing them as \u2018wonderful\u2019 and \u2018exceptional\u2019. Martha Baratay was singled out as a key volunteer.<\/p>\n<p>Chairman of the event, Abdul Salam Kamara said it\u2019s a dream come true to see all the kids smile, calling on all to help the needy. \u201cYou don\u2019t know who that person will become in the future,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He said the Foundation is here to empower children for the future, encouraging everyone to subscribe to the MaMJGEF scheme because \u2018this is the only way to sustain the Foundation\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The Chairman congratulated the beneficiaries, emphasizing the importance of the Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Parents and beneficiaries thanked MaMJGEF for the support, promising to do their best so their efforts will not go in vain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/sierra-leone\">Sierra-Leone<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Sierra-Leone.
