US AMBASSADOR PRAISES AVSI'S WORK CARRYING OUT LITERACY PROMOTION ACTIVITIES

In his speech, Ambassador Bell thanked the entire local community and recognized the hard work of the women’s group feeding children in the school canteens. He also thanked WFP and AVSI for their commitment to the project. He encouraged the authorities at both the national and local levels to continue mobilizing their efforts to sustain the good actions undertaken through the project activities.

During his visit, Ambassador Bell also gave the school principal books and pencils to be distributed among students and teachers. On behalf of her classmates, Yeo Gnaman Minfou, a 5th grade student, thanked the Ambassador:

“Since AVSI began working at my school, all my classmates and I have been able to read better and more books. Now, we are also able to eat lunch while still in school. Thank you to the McGovern Dole Program.”
