The People’s Republic of China through its Embassy near Monrovia, has donated a huge consignment of assorted materials along with a 15 – seated mini-bus to the Liberian First Lady’s Clar Hope Foundation, CHF.
Presenting the items recently, Chinese Ambassador to Liberia Ren Yisheng said the gesture was in support of the great humanitarian work First Lady Clar Marie Weah continues to provide through her foundation designed for the underprivileged people of Liberia.
“We appreciate all the useful work done by the Clar Hope Foundation for the vulnerable groups; the young women, children and seniors of Liberia,” remarked the Ambassador Ren during a brief hand-over ceremony at the Chinese Embassy in Congo Town, Paynesville, Liberia.
Ambassador Ren Yisheng referred to the ongoing construction of the City of Hope in Marshal, Margibi County and the Home of the Elderly constructed in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County as some of the admirable projects of CHF, which highlight First Lady Weah’s commitment to less fortunate Liberians.
The Chinese Envoy said his government and people were please to identify with Mrs. Weah’s work. He added that such support was indicative of the long-standing cordial bilateral relations between their respective countries and peoples.
The items the Chinese Ambassador presented to the Clar Hope Foundation through the Liberia First Lady comprise as several cartoons of noodles, clothes, academic materials, 200 pieces of tablets, computers, and kits-of-love-bags for children among others.
Ambassador Ren Yisheng said that the gifts were made possible by the All-China Women Federation, Chinese Enterprises, China Disable Persons Federation, and the China Charity Foundation respectively.
Receiving the donation, First Lady Clar Marie Weah described the gesture as a demonstration of the true partnership not only with her office and foundation but also the government and people of Liberia. She conveyed President Weah’s profound gratitude through the Ambassador to Chinese President Xi Jingpin for the donation.
“The government of the People’s Republic of China and it’s Embassy have always supported in great ways the work of the Office of the First Lady and the Clar Hope Foundation; a foundation that is ultra-passionate about bringing joy, hope and constructive advancement in the lives of Liberian women and girls,” Mrs. Weah said.
She added that “Our partnership with the Chinese Government and its people is one that continues to see these kinds of gesture of significance, and I want to tell you that such makes me humbly gratified.”
In a special note of appreciation to the respective groups whose contributions made the donation possible, Mrs. Weah noted that their assistance would change the lives of thousands of Liberians that they have never and would never meet.
