Volunteers Hub Liberia (VHL), a not-for-profit organisation, has donated face masks and powder detergent soap to the two senior high schools in Bensonville, Montserado County, to help stop the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic as the start of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination is just a few days away.

Development Diaries observed that the donation was part of the Covid-19 Humanitarian Response and Resilience project being supported by ActionAid Liberia and with funding from the government of Sweden, with the objective of raising awareness of public health and human rights protection.

Presenting the items, the Executive Director of Volunteers Hub Liberia, Menue Bainda, said that the 110 pieces of face masks will be used by the 12th graders and instructors of the Frank E. Tolbert Junior and Senior High School, and the Hope International Christian Academy, while the four cartons of powder detergent soap will be used to serve the entire population of the two schools.

He added that the Volunteers Hub Liberia had planned to provide hand sanitisers for all 12th graders, but due to the high price of the product, his institution redirected its attention to providing the detergent soap.

In addition to the donation, some Covid-19 prevention flyers were given to the two high schools to help educate students and staff.

Bainda called on 12th graders of the Frank E. Tolbert Junior and Senior School and the Hope International Christian Academy to believe that Covid-19 was real and in Liberia. He also urged them not to be violators of the Covid-19 health protocols given by the government of Liberia.

On their part, the principals of the schools thanked Volunteers Hub Liberia for providing them with the items.
