Hi and happy new year to all my Facebook friends. I know it has been an unusual while since I passed by to update you. Today I am here to do just that on somethingg I am very excited about.
As many of you know by now, at least since the last 8 years, Because Others Care, the BABMOC organization has been providing fees free education for children in Liberia, particularly so for those in the Barnersville and Johnsonville areas. The service which began with schooling 72 children in K-II through grade 3 in 2017, has since reached the 6th grade level at least four years ago and serving more than 150 students annually.
But what brought me here today is not to count long past glory, rather, what has been unfolding recently. One of such excitements is the completion of our Multipurpose Court, which simply began as students' play ground for sports like basket ball, tennis, etc..
But guess what! As you will clearly notice in the accompanying video, a recent upgrade not only improved the safety nature of the court, but it now has a provision to accommodate teachers, staff, and even parents who might want to take advantage of the opportunity. For example, I personally tested it today to figure out if I could walk up to a mile, which is 24 times around the court, without exhaustion, which I did in about 24 minutes, wow! To me, folks, that was not a bad result, more so for an old man with hurting legs, ha...ha.
On behave of the BABMOC family in Liberia - parents, students, teachers and support staff, your humble servant says many...many thanks to all the caring people who made this project and the rest in 2025 possible. Best wishes and more of God's blessings throughout the whole of 2026 and beyond, Amen!
