“The center will also assist in generating employment opportunities for these underprivileged children.
“When the Children’s Centre is completed, we will be running three different sessions throughout the day. In the morning, we will support primary school pupils, in the afternoon we will also support ages from 11 to 16, and in the evening 16 to 21. We have chosen St George’s Orphanage for our first Charity to support and there will be many more to follow before we are fully established,” he disclosed.
“Also, when we would have established, we will continue to work with all the different charities supporting young people in Sierra Leone as we feel there is strength in numbers,” he opined.
