Children Media Foundation Sierra Leone, (CMF) on Monday 21st August, 2017, donated food and non-food items worth millions of Leones to mudslide and flood victims and promised to provide a year scholarship to one hundred and ninety four disaster affected children.
Speaking at the donation ceremony, the Founder and Chief Executive officer of the organisation , Saidu Paul Kamara, said his foundation was in the community to donate to children that lost their parents to the disaster.
He said his organisation sympathises with the relatives of the victims who were gruesomely killed in the August Monday 14th mudslide and flood disaster.
He said they have visited the two worst affected communities of Kaningo and Regent respectively, and that they have decided to provide a year scholarship including learning materials worth millions of Leones.
“I felt bad when we visited the Regent Registration Centre. What comes to my mind was how these children are going to face. It is on that grounds that we decided to give our little help to some affected children,” he said.
He further called on other well-meaning organisations, to come to the aid of those children and give them the best education that their parents would have given them.
