allAfrica.com: Sierra Leone: Windfall for the Deaf And Dumb (Page 1 of 1)
Sierra Leone association of the deaf and dumb Tuesday breathed a sigh of relief after mercury international announced it would be funding their trip to play a friendly match in Liberia.
Chairman of mercury Samir Hassaniyeh handing over the Le 5 million checque at his Rawdon Street office said the donation was in response to a letter of sponsorship written to his company early this year.
"The letter stated that the deaf and dumb association needed the donated amount to fund a trip to Liberia, to play a friendly with their counterparts out there," he said adding that mercury international is committed to their corporate social responsibilities. Hassaniyeh said they as business people believe in making their customers happy. He said they have been engaging in a number of charity work including a recent Le 5 million donation to Saint George's home for the aged.
President of the deaf and dumb association Ramatu Sesay thanked mercury international for the gesture.
"Mercury has shown that they believe in bringing hope to the hopeless," she said adding that a 30 man delegation of 3 women and 27 men will leave Freetown on Friday for Liberia for the friendly and returns on April 29. She explained that their organization was formed in 1998 and consists of 226 members.
