MONROVIA – Distributing food and non-food items, twice a year, to the elderly, children and people living with disabilities in the country, has become passably and distinctly habitual for the Nmah-Clarke Family Humanitarian Aid, Inc (NCFHA), and this year’s festive season donation is the 8th, since 2016.
Coupled to what is now known as the normal free gifts, bi-monthly food and non-food gifts are provided to the disadvantaged and ill children at the James N. Davies Hospital, there is a US$39,000 free Computer and Research Center, located in Samukai Community – Logan Town which has been completed and dedicated to boost the NCFHA’s education program.
The Center also has a free feeding program, which has been giving hot meals to over 250 kids, every Saturday, as of December 2018. Every last Friday, the kids played Puzzle – Mind games for hours, the winners are cheers and then the games are climaxed with a hot meal.
Before Christmas Day — Wednesday, December 25, each of at least over 400 elders (very old person) in Logan Town Bushrod Island, Montserrado County and in Suehn Mecca, Bomi County received a 25kg rice (Horse), cups of beans, farina, plastic of vegetable oil, Maggi cube, salt, and coal as well as clothes and beddings in celebration of the this year’s Christmas and New Year festivals.
Elder Reuben C. Mulbah, 84 years old, thanked the NHCRA for the donations: “We in Logan town are happy and never forget the good of the Nmah Clarke Family.” He added: “I want them to also help us with tablets for old age bone pains.”
Ma Musu Wisseh, 68 years old, indicated: “We are happy. Every July 26 and Christmas Season, we received food, clothes, and sometimes grease and copybooks from the Nmah Clarke Family. God will always bless them.”
Also, about 70 elderly and people living with disabilities, in front of the ERA Supermarket at Airfield Junction received 20 cups of rice, 5 cups of beans, farina, the plastic of vegetable oil, Maggi cube, salt and three fish cups for the Christmas.
Oldma Korpu, “Thank God for this. At least my family has Christmas.” She said it shaking the tails of her lappas weakly.
The Nmah-Clarke Family Humanitarian Aid, Inc is a US-based charity organization, established by a Liberian, Mrs. Tuwroh Nmah Clarke and her husband, Mr. Delano Clarke. The organization aims to help humanity, especially the underprivileged, particularly in Liberia, since 2016. Their concentration is to provide relief to the children and the elderly.
The Operational Manager of NCFHA-Liberia, Madam Panneh Nmah said the bi-annual donations are to “feed and clothes” the elderly, children and peoples living with disabilities aimed not to allow people to dare to sleep hungry and walked naked during the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
Panneh said the humanitarian group also provided educational supplies including copy books, pencils and sharpeners, toys, bicycles and recreational materials to schools, and health materials to hospitals including John F Kennedy, James N. Davies and Redemption Day.
It may be recalled, Mr. and Mrs. Clarke of NCHRA believed that besides providing free education materials with the free computer school and internet-research center, an attached kitchen offered a free lunch to the kids every Saturday.
On Saturday, December 28 will end the one-year’s pilot initiative of free lunch for kids, which was launched on Saturday, December 22, 2018.
Further, hand pumps were erected in Kparkacon (Turtle’s Back) Community, Marshall Highway, Lower Margibi County; as well as in Suehn Mecca Community, Lower Bomi County.
