The story of Marthaline

By VAAFD TEAM | VAAFD TEAM

Marthaline is 7 years old; she joined our school in 2015, in the Nursery. She is now in the K-I and she always has the highest mark in her class. Marthaline lives with her grandmother Mary in the Omega area community where the United States Government had her Omega Navigation Station Tower for many years that is about 15 minutes drive from the Carolyn A. Miller School. Her mother is a farmer who lives in Tappita Nimba Country, Northern Liberia.

Marthaline is a very smart kind and desire education the most, before the end of the school year 2016 one of our Board members Francis visited the school and he brought gifts for students who were doing well the in their lessons as mean of motivation, after the distribution, Marthaline walked to him and said “I want you support me”. After their conversation, Francis called me to know who the child was and I never had full details on her but I got to her teacher and helped me to learn more about marthaline. I asked Marthaline what you want Francis to support you for? She said “I want to be educated; my mother did not go to school and I see our president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is strong because she is educated” that was really amazing for me to hear such a young child mentioned their desire for education and not candy. Our registrar visited Marthaline’s house where she met the grandmother and her cousins that also live with the grandmother. The grandmother said that marthaline has lived with her since she was three years of age and she has seen her mother only once in her life time since she lived very far from where Marthaline lives. We want to thank Francis for pledging his support for this child education and also we to want use this opportunity to thank the Globalgiving team and all of our supporters and donors for their numerous supports they continue to give the children of Liberia and the world. We may like to talk about other reports but the details with come in our next report. Our 9^th and 12^th grades will be sitting for the West Africa Examination in May 2017, thank you so much for being there for them.

We are proud of you, you are making a difference.

Excitement at the CAMES

By VAAFD TEAM | VAAFD TEAM

The 2016/2017 school year has had an interesting event taking place at CAMES, the students have been enjoying the taste of entertainment. It has been the wish of the students to own musical instrument to be able to building their talents and the opportunity has finally come. A student at Laurence High School from California donated some musical instrument to the school to help the kids at CAMES to get excess to music. What makes this interesting most is that the kids who donated these items family got full involved till we finally received those musical instrument that the kids at CAMES are enjoying today.

Kids in Liberia do not have the opportunity to build their talent when they watch television and see other kids in other parts of the world with those opportunities they wish to have that too but again, schools here do not provide it for them.

We continue to appreciate all of friends, donors and supporters for their continue love and sacrifices they continue to make for the kids of Liberia and CAMES get a brighter future. Our biggest thanks go to Globalgiving who is the master planner for all of the opportunities these kids receive today.

One of our students James who father is vision impaired said that if the institution can help to build his foundation in music he will use that change the lives in his community and if the possibility exist, he will make impart on the Liberia and the world. His both parents are vision impaired and he wants to use music to be a great help to his family. We want to appreciate all those who part toke in the Globalgiving matching fund to donate to our organization, thank you ever so much and you are making a difference, you protecting the future of kids who never knew that they could ever go to school.

The school will be starting her 3^rd period exam next week and we are getting some challenges from our land lord he wants to sell the building that we are using for the school for $25,000.00 United States Dollars and we do not have the money buy and this is really embarrassing we are therefore asking all of our supports, donors and friends to kids help you us be able to buy this building so that the kids will remain in school. Our land lord said that if we are interested to buy can pay by three installments, first installment will be 50% of the said amount and other 50% can be paid evenly. Thank you for all of the supports you continue to give our organization and the kids of Liberia and we hope that you will be our guest one day to be able to interact with those you continue to support.

Thank you so much for the support you are making a difference and together as a team, we can achieve much.

Again, many thank to our donors, supporters and friends all whose are giving their love and resources to support this project. We also want to thank Globalgiving for their support as well.

End of 2015/2016 school year

By VAAFD TEAM | VAAFD TEAM

On Sunday July 30^th 2016 marked the 7th graduation ceremony of the Carolyn A. Miller High School in Paynesville Liberia. The school graduated 60 students that sat the West Africa Examination Council. We are to our supporters, friends and donors who provided funding for the school year. After the Ebola crisis in Liberia it was challenging to begin again since there were fears for many students to return to school but we used that opportunity and moved in communities to have parents encourage to allow their kids come back to school it was difficult for many parent to when we started but after the school went on for so time, students started coming in their numbers. We are happy that we had a successful year school and we were able to graduate 60 students that is a great contribution to the human resources of Liberia.

We are happy that we continue to get support from committed donors, supporters, friends and globalgiving who continue to advertise our organization and the work we continue to do in this part of the globe. However, it took months and great number of time and effort from our team and staff to be able to get encourage of our students to be regular in school so we are also thankful to all of our team members.

We are always grateful to our donors and Globalgiving through the support they continue to give us, there is a great impart made in the lives of hundreds of kids through educational benefit. We want to encourage all of our supporters, donors and friend to continue to support this cause. The school year is over but the news school year is about to start in September and our school is lack seat for students most of the chairs have damaged. Please help donate for us buy chair chairs and desk for the school. Your support to this project it highly appreciated since it continues to develop the lives of hundreds of less fortunate kids in our community. It is our hope that one day you will make a decision to visit our project site so that you can be able to have direct continued with these kids. Thank you so much for the support you are making a difference and together as a team, we can achieve much.

We want to use this opportunity to thank all of supporters and donors for their generosity; we appreciate your kindness and we want to let you know that without you there will be no free education for the forgotten children of Liberia.

I also want to inform you that our rent payment is no longer September we have signed a new lease agreement with our land lord and payment is now January each year. The most needed materials we need for the school are desk and chair and each will cost $20.00 and we need 300 pieces to enable our students to have seat to learn.
