Monrovia – In a heartwarming display of corporate social responsibility, Captain Fabjanko Kokan, Regional Director for Africa Global Logistics (AGL) overseeing Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea, led a generous donation of school supplies to students at the Community Kids Academy on 12th Street, Sinkor, Monrovia. 

The donation, made on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, is part of AGL’s ongoing commitment to social impact through its CSR initiative. 

AGL is a leading multimodal logistics operator specializing in port, logistics, sea, and rail transport across Africa. Now part of the MSC Group, AGL supports its customers’ growth by offering customized services that enhance their competitiveness in global markets. With over a century of expertise, 23,000 employees, and operations in 49 countries, AGL provides innovative logistics solutions that contribute to Africa’s sustainable development. The company is also active in Haiti and Timor. 

In Liberia, AGL has played a vital role in the logistics and transportation sectors, offering tailored solutions that support the country’s socio-economic progress. This recent donation to Community Kids Academy strengthens AGL’s position as a dedicated community partner invested in Liberia’s future. 

During the donation event, Captain Kokan highlighted the collective responsibility of shaping Liberia’s future through education. “Thank you, Mr. Principal, and students, for welcoming me here today,” he began, addressing an attentive audience. 

Kokan expressed his gratitude to the entire AGL team, from Human Resources to every staff member involved in making the day possible. “This is our first initiative of this kind, but I assure you, it won’t be the last. Our presence here isn’t about publicity—we don’t need that. I’m here to inspire our colleagues, companies, and everyone in Liberia to understand that even small acts of kindness can make a profound difference,” he passionately remarked. 

He likened the donation to “a single drop of water in the desert,” emphasizing its invaluable impact on the students’ lives. “Education is the most powerful weapon to change Liberia, Africa, and the world,” he continued, urging more organizations, both local and international, to join the effort to improve Liberia’s education system. 

Lamb Toe, AGL’s Human Resource Manager, echoed this call to action, reaffirming AGL’s deep-rooted commitment to community service. “At AGL, we believe in giving back to the communities we serve. That’s why we’ve dedicated a day of solidarity to initiatives like this. Our work in cargo handling, heavy equipment transportation, and logistics means little if we’re not also contributing to the future of Liberia’s children,” Toe added. 

The students of Community Kids Academy expressed profound gratitude for the donation. Sarafina Sorsor, speaking on behalf of her classmates, shared her heartfelt thanks. “Your generosity has made this school year unforgettable. You’ve inspired us to work harder and learn more,” she said, clearly moved by the gesture. 

Principal Kahien Gbuway also conveyed his deep appreciation to AGL for its unwavering support. “Our school has faced many challenges over the years, but with AGL’s help, we feel renewed and motivated. We are hopeful that this partnership will continue to grow, enabling us to overcome obstacles and provide our students with the education they deserve,” he said. 

The event concluded with a promise from Captain Kokan that AGL would continue to support Liberia’s children. “We will return to offer more assistance because together, we can make Liberia a better place,” he pledged. 

In addition to the school supplies, AGL Liberia also contributed significantly by renovating the facilities at Community Kids Academy, further improving the learning environment for the students.
