Posted by Help Liberia Foundation on January 08, 2008

In a bid to put smiles on the faces of kids during the Christmas season, Help Liberia Foundation distributed used clothes among the children that attend its school.

The clothes, which were distributed among the children in full view of the staff of the school, as well as Mr. Paul Y. Harry, Executive Director of HLF, contained dresses, blouses, skirts, T-shirts, shirts, pants, etc. The staff also benefited from the distribution, as each took a few pieces for himself.

At the end of the distribution, the kids an the staff expressed thanks and appreciation to Help Liberia Foundation for the Christmas gifts, which came at a time when most of the parents were experiencing financial difficulty. The foundation, too, extends thanks to all its sponsors who made it possible, through their good-will donations, for the foundation to purchase the clothes for the kids.

The foundation started the distribution of Christmas clothes in 2005, and it’s the foundation’s plan to carry out this exercise every Christmas season. It is our hope that other individuals and institutions of good will help us to help the kids.
