Liberia: After receiving JNB Foundation donation of 1 laptop, DLiTE CEO returns with gifts
“Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; and he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine?”(Luke 17:15-17)
It had taken barely two days after she received a donation of just one laptop from the JNB-F charity, when Amanda Manneh Yarsiah, the CEO for DLiTE, a local women empowerment group, returned Wed., Jan. 5, to the same office, gently holding a plate of nicely baked short-bread, a gallon of detergent, plus another containing bleach (made by her own students) for staffers at the foundation. Accompanied by a female staff from DLiTE (Dream Life Training & Empowerment) Vocational Program, Amanda, a holder of a BSC in Journalism, and once a savvy reporter for the government’s ELBC Radio and Television Station, said this was her way of showing appreciation to the chief executive and his staff for their good-will gesture on Feb. 3rd. The JNB Foundation donated a laptop to her organization, an equipment she says, the entity needs so badly in order to accelerate its works, or growing engagements. DLiTE’s expression of gratitude may look similar to the Messiah Jesus Christ’s own encounter with the Ten lepers-one of whom would return later, praising God for receiving Healing, of the ten. It prompted the Messiah to ask: “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?” (Luke 17: 15-17). It must be noted that of the hundreds needy, including viable institutions across Liberia, that received assistance from the Joseph Nyuma Boakai Foundation throughout last year, Amanda’s entity is probably the only group, or found among the very few organizations to reciprocate, returning to give thanks to God and this foundation! DLiTE, Amanda said, presently has 8 administrators including herself that run the vocational training center. She founded DLiTE in 2024, and it now has 31 women participants, plus a single man enrolled. DLiTE campus is located near St. Kizito Catholic Church within the Red-Light District. As of the time of this writing, her vocational center didn’t have outside supporting sources, she said, and pleaded with kindhearted individuals and groups to assist her school; writes James Kokulo Fasuekoi (JKF).
