Donations at Jubilee School in Boys Town

In the afternoon of January 9, 2022, the IMPACT volunteers visited the Jubilee School in the Boys Town community in Margibi County, Liberia. A private school serving families way below the poverty line, the school runs primarily of donations as many of the parents cannot afford to pay their children’s tuition. The IMPACT Team was received with the usual courtesy, respect, and joyfulness that is typical of how guests are welcomed in the Liberian tradition.

The children were asked what they wanted to become when they grew up, and they shared eagerly their hopes of becoming a teacher, business owners, police, doctor, joining the military, amongst others.  Mrs. Hawa Collins, the founder and principal, expressed her gratitude on behalf of the students and staff. She said that although the economic conditions in the country were challenging, our visit inspires them to keep serving the children and their families.

Walkthrough and Give-Away in the Garyah Community

Sunday January 16, 2022 saw a more personal kind of IMPACT to an underserved community in Garyah Town, Margibi County, Liberia. Everane Bropleh, assisted by two young adults—Serena and Frances—did a walkthrough the Garyah community. They went from house to house talking with families, and handed out gifts to children. Everane shared how moving it was to meet the folks, hear a bit of their stories, and see firsthand the challenges of their living conditions. She recalls how she saw “so many young pregnant mothers who were malnourished.” But as she shared in her FB post, “I had an amazing time in Liberia interacting with the neighborhood children…you put a smile on their faces.” Everane called this “the highlight” of her time in Liberia! Thanks to all the donors for their generosity and the IMPACT it had on the community.
