Today July 20th 2018, 10 students at the Yonibana Secondary School received back pack and school supplies from Me Against Poverty a registered 501c3 organization that i started 9 years ago.Our representatives in Sierra Leone coordinated with the school and distributed the supplies to the recipients early this morning.
We wish the students well as they continue their academic pursuit.
As a small organization we strive towards making a difference in the lives of these students, many of whom we will never meet. We help because of what we believe.
