Senator Ngafeeson Emmanuel Donates to Students and Pupils
As a mark of patriotism and giving back to the community what the community had given him, Hon. Senator Ngafeeson Emmanuel Bantar, recently donated a consignment of exercise books, schools bags, pens pencils and other didactic materials to over sixty two pupils and students from diverse schools of Talla Village of Ndu Sub Division in Donga Mantung Division.
His material aid is a stitch on time to most families faced with the challenge of school resumption. It is worth noting that acquisition of school needs for children has become an uphill task for most parents in the Northwest and Southwest regions , given Anglophone political brouhaha that has stagnated economic activities of the two regions for nine years running.
Parents who hitherto, depended exclusively on subsistence farming as a source of livelihood have virtually become baggers’ and paupers in most villages and towns of the restive regions.
The month of September (school resumption month) comes with increase in Blood Pressure to parents especially under privilege families who could barely afford for daily meals . It is on this note that the material aid to school children was was highly appreciated by the beneficiaries and their parents as well.
Beneficiaries celebrate the aid
Most of them almost shed tears of joy upon reception of the material assistance that was going to drastically reduce the burden of their parents at this crucial moment of school reception. From every indication, the quality of the schools bags and the didactic material were of superior quality .It was the first time for them possessing such quality school bags and other didactic material.
The Sub chief of Mbibi palace, host of the event, at his esplanade,expressed gratitude to Senator Ngafeeson Emmanuel for extending a hand of fellowship to the needy children to support parents in the school needs .
Apart from it being a show of gratitude and patriotism, the gestures goes beyond simple commitment to the development of the village, it is a remarkable charity and demonstration of commitment to the future of the children of the village in spite the socio –political setbacks posing a threat to the future of them.
Only those who know the worth of education invest in school children. The only eternal treasure a parent can give a child is education. He said. “The only weapon we can use to change the world is education”. Says the Late South African President Nelson Mandela. It should be recalled.
He seized the opportunity to exhort the students to show proof their appreciation to the Senator via hard work and success in their examinations. He told them that the Senator will only be spurred to invest more in them if they are assiduous and exhibit moral rectitude as they go to school.
While also urging them to be more committed in their academics work to become Parliamentarians, Senators, Ministers etc, he cautioned that vandalism as it has no place in our society. Only well behaved children end up succeeding in life.
The beneficiaries who were visibly overwhelmed with joy chanted appreciation songs to the Senator while also promising to judiciously and tenaciously use the material aid. They appealed to God to bountifully bless him, give him good Health and more wisdom to continually invest in the education of the children of the village. The best human investment that guarantees the development and future of their beloved village. .
