Educate Underprivileged Children in Liberia

Vision Awake Africa For Development organized a one day honoring program for the Carolyn A. Miller High School teachers on 2nd of April 2024 at the school’s premises. The intent of this program was to encourage and motivate them to work harder because the children they are developing today, are the most important resources Liberia.

VAAFD CEO Mr. Hayes had described teachers as the greatest people on earth who should always be honored for their sacrifices in the development of the nation. Describing teachers as the greatest people on earth, VAAFD CEO says” even the greatest scientist in the world was taught by teachers, so teachers are role models.”

He said teachers play major roles in the development of a country and as such, not noticing their contribution will be a disservice to them. Mr. Hayes made the comments recently when Carolyn A. Miller High School honored several of its teachers for their services in molding the minds of Liberia’s future generation.

Mr. Hayes lamented that the Carolyn A. Miller High School which operates on a tuition free basis has seen the hard work of these teachers.

Twelve teachers in total were honored and certificated at the event. Speaking on behalf of the honorees’, Teacher Yond, said this program serves as a motivation and inspiration to him and his colleagues.

According to Mr. Yond, although there are lots of challenges in the classrooms, teaching is a calling for him and he is passionate about it. He called on his colleagues in the classrooms to put time in teaching, terming it as the foundation of every country.

Mr. Yond warned his colleagues against making the classroom money-making place by accepting bribes. He said taking bribes undermines the educational sector of the country.
