KARNPLAY CITY– As a means of giving back to society and helping to give everyone access to quality education, several students have benefited from financial aid.

In helping to buttress the effort of parents to get their kids back to school for the Academic 2024/2025, about 37 have graciously benefited from financial aid from Madam Phephe Kadie Gorpulay Dickerner, a daughter of Gbeivonea Town residing in the United States.

Making the donation at various schools in the Beo region in District # 4 in Nimba County, Archie Dickerner said the initiative is meant to help needy students whose parents can’t afford to pay their fees for this academic year.

According to Archie, Madam Dickerner intended to encourage students to take education seriously and be focused despite the harsh economic their parents are faced with.

She used the medium and cautioned other prominent citizens of the district to join hands in extending helping hands to struggle and single parents sending their kids to school.

Phephe curve that no one knows the future of a child; as such, helping to educate them could make a brighter future for them.

“Some of the children who are benefiting from us today could be the next Superintendent of the county; they could be the next Medical Doctor or nurse to return and help the District too.”

Phephe said that she has been in the business of helping old folks in the background and never has one day thought of publicizing it, but decided to go public with the kids to encourage others to be of help to others who are in need but did not benefit from her gesture.

Schools that benefited from her gesture included Beo Yoolar Public School, Beo Garnaglay, and Gbeivonwea Public School. A total of  37 students from the above-mentioned institutions benefited from the financial aid of Phephe.

The total cost of a little over 300 USD was spent in registering the 37 beneficiaries. Archie indicated that the goodwill of Madam Dickner is non-political and pledged to continue the process.

Making remarks on behalf of the beneficiary, the town chief of Gbeivonwea, Matthew Karzon, and the principal, Esther Wilson, appreciated Madam Phephe Dickerner for the initiative.Karzon described the gesture as the first of its kind for such a donation to take place at the  Gbeivonwea public school since its establishment in 1965.

He is at the same time calling on other prominent sons and daughters hailing from the district to follow the good example of Phephe Dickner in helping to make more positive future leaders.
