A local humanitarian outfit, Care Club Foundation, on Monday, donated assorted scholastic materials to 14 orphans and students living with disability from various secondary schools in Aweil town, Northern Bahr el Ghazal State.
The items donated included school bags, exercise books, pens, and calculators among other things.
Speaking to Radio Tamazuj after receiving the school bag which contained the scholastic materials, Rebecca Abuk Ayok, a student of Aweil Madina Modern Secondary School, Care Club Foundation had put a smile on their faces.
“Today is a very good day for us and we are glad because we have received school materials like bags, books, pens, and other materials from the Care Club Foundation,” she said. “We are very glad and sincerely thank them and those who initiated the support.”
Another beneficiary, Nelson Ngor Lual who studies at Aweil National Secondary School, said he was grateful that the foundation thought about the poor like him and also heartily thanked them for the gift.
“I am very happy for the help to the poor people and those with special needs, but now I am praying for God to bless state minister of education, Santino Bol Akok, to continue coordinating such assistance from partners,” Ngor said.
Meanwhile, the Care Club Foundation representative, William Bol Akot, said the scholastic items were provided to encourage vulnerable students to keep in school so that they can have a bright future despite the challenges they face.
“Today (Monday) we brought school bags that contain exercise books, pencils, calculators and other useful things for educational activities,” he said. “We are supporting them so that we encourage them in their pursuit of education.”
