EAFA donates to National School for the Deaf in Sierra Leone: Sierra Leone News
Elizabeth Agricultural Farmers Association (EAFA), a non governmental organization last Friday donated skills learning materials including sewing machines worth millions of Leones to the National School for the Deaf at Wilkinson Road in Freetown.
Presenting the items on behalf of the association, the Programme Coordinator, Yembeh Mansaray informed the students that the association is not only specialized in agriculture, also undertakes humanitarian assistance ventures. He said the donation made to the school is out of that consideration. Talking about the nature of the association, Mr. Mansaray intimated that it is non political and that the focus of the association is purely developmental, which he said the association aims at achieving at various levels.
He recalled the association’s earlier similar donations to the Cheshire Home, the SOS Children’s Village, the Kabala Secondary School, R.C. Primary School also in Kabala and also that the association has assisted several individuals in need. On the national level, Mr. Mansaray disclosed to the students that the Elizabeth Agricultural Farmers Association has donated a mini bus to the National Fire Force as part of its national development assistance.
Receiving the items on behalf of the school, a senior teacher, Miss Avil Willoughby expressed thanks and appreciation to the association for the gifts and prayed that the association comes to their aid in the future.
Members of the Elizabeth Agriculture Farmers Association were taken on a tour of the school by another senior teacher, Abid Sankoh and he seized the opportunity to highlight what he called constraints of the school. Key among the constraints he said the school faced and for which solicited the association’s intervention was the Agricultural development of the school. He indicated that the school has a few agricultural tools, but requested for more and even better ones and to also assist the school’s agricultural department with seed.
"Once we are got this assistance, we would be able to produce most of the food items for our own consumption," he noted. The Director of the Association, Debali S. Konteh was also present of the ceremony.
