MONROVIA – Authorities of the Liberian School for the Blind are calling on the Government of Liberia (GOL), through the Ministries of Finance and Development Planning and Education, to ensure the provision of adequate financial support to the institution to address multiple challenges prior to the commencement of academic year 2020/2021. The institution’s Principal, Mr. Jackson Suah, disclosed that the school remains faced with numerous constraints despite its closure for academic year 2019.2020 under challenging circumstances. Others support to the Liberian School for the Blind comes ‘once in the blue moon,’ or it’s not regular at all. He added that a medical center needs to be established on the school campus to provide medical support and proper healthcare to visually impaired Liberian students. As one of the less fortunate and vulnerable institutions operating in Liberia, the Liberian School for the Blind was fortunate to receive about 80 bags of 25kg rice, 40 gallons of oil and eight bags of beans.
