It is not so often for children to gather in the name of Party and also to interact with great personalities such as a Minister. Yesterday became a scene of joy when the Children of West Point had the opportunity to see the Minister of Education and a mentor George Kronnisanyon Werner, mentorVandalark Patricks - Head of SURE Liberia, my own big brother and a mentor Robert David G of ME1C2/LILFOC Foundation, big brother Amos Sawboh of ORPHAN CONCERN Liberia, and many other local government officials including the Commissioner of the Township of West Point - Sampson Nyan, who through their powerful remarks inspired me and the children who came for the party. .
GIVING HOPE TO CHILDREN FOUNDATION, established by Amb Abraham M. Keita, held its New Year Children's Party yesterday, January 1, 2016, in West Point to put smiles on the faces of children. The party, which brought together a little over 350 children from every aspect of West Point, was intended to stop children from leaving the community to go outside in search of another party just to have themselves entertained. The Minister of Education of the Republic of Liberia served as our Special Guest to motivate and inspire the children. We also had inspirational remarks from other invited guests as mentioned earlier, including the Head of the West Point Women Health and Development Association - Madam Nellie Cooper and Mr. Archealous Nagbe - the West Point Child Welfare Committee chairman.
Special thanks to my mother Hon Munah E Pelham-Youngblood for the level of support and commitment she gave to ensure that the party be successful. You have always been there since I was growing up and providing guidance for me and the Foundation. I love you so so much.
The NY Children's Party would not have been possible if these hard working members of GIHOC Foundation, Ousman Logic Kallay, Aloysius Shagi Wesseh, Mohammed B. Kromah and Sekou M. Keita, had not worked so hard and in time. Their energy and resources used in getting the children to the party will never go unrecognized. God will richly bless you all.
Thank you Minister George Kronnisanyon Werner, Robert David G & entourage, and Amos Sawboh for leaving other activities just to be with the children in West Point. You are all my mentors. Above all, you are passionate. To our Minister of Education, you continue to prove to me and the GIHOC Foundation family that you are humble and will always be there to stand with us in changing the situations of children in Liberia.
Many thanks to my own biological mother, step - mothers, aunties and their friends for preparing the foods and drinks.
To the children of West Point and Liberia at large, GIHOC Foundation loves you and cares about your well - being. GIHOCF was founded for children, and by children.
As member of the KidsRights Youngsters and a winner of the International Children's Peace Prize, I will remain in the vanguard for protection of the rights of children and to change their conditions globally. Not forgetting about Cindy de Visser, Laura Lasance, Ellen Vroonhof and the KidsRights Foundation based in the Netherlands for the support and mentorship they continue to provide me.
