In Margibi County, precisely at the Dolo's Town Public School, on a county-tour as part of the GIVING HOPE TO CHILDREN FOUNDATION nationwide outreach to know and access the real issues affecting children in, mostly, rural Liberia.
Sadly, at the Dolo's Town Public School, children are sitting on armless-chairs to write notes. In a modern era where human progress is determined by the environment and learning tools, yet children do not learn in a peaceful and supportive environment. They are still faced with the manacles of poverty and entangled in the difficulties of pursuing education.
Why should children in certain parts of Monrovia sit on arm chairs and children in Margibi County do not? This question requires an answer from us. We must all collectively work to change the unspeakable situations of children and youth in Liberia.
When will children in Lofa, Bong, Cape Mount, Nimba, Bomi, etc., have access to quality and adequate education just as children in Monrovia and other parts of the world?
Additionally, sex for grades is very rampant in schools nowadays in rural Liberia. Many students are left with the choice of sleeping with teachers or risk failing in certain subjects.
These are the tragedies that children experience daily in Liberia.
