More than 100 school children and other kids from surrounding communities in Hartford, Grand Bassa County, enjoyed a hearty meal thanks to a humanitarian outreach by the Nepalese Formed Police Unit-2 to the Government Morning School recently.

The Nepalese police also gave copybooks, pencils, pencil sharpeners and sporting materials such as soccer balls and two sets of volleyballs to the school. Making the presentation, Maj. Deepak Adhikari, Operations Officer of the Nepal FPU-2, said the gesture was aimed at promoting peace in the community. He said he hoped the educational materials would help reduce the burden on parents who had to buy these materials for their kids.

The Principal of the school, Joseph Bleh thanked the Nepalese peacekeepers adding that he hoped his school’s partnership with the peacekeepers would continue.  St. John River City Mayor Erasmus Addy, Sr. also lavished praises on the Nepalese, requesting others to follow suit.

Similarly, the Nepalese Formed Police Unit recently donated two soccer balls and two volleyball sets to the Own Your Own Community, a residential quarter approximately 5 kilometers outside of Buchanan. Maj. Adhikari said the donation was aimed at using sports as a tool to promote peace. He called on the residents to use sports as a unifying force which can help to bring lasting peace to Liberia.
The leader of the Own Your Own Community, Lingston B. Kieh, thanked the Nepalese for the gesture, assuring that the soccer balls and volleyballs will help to reunite members of the community through sports activities.

Kids at the Good Hope Restoration Orphanage center in Grand Bassa County were also proud beneficiaries of the goodwill of the Nepalese police. They had lunch with the officers and received free medical care.
