Sgt. Eric Oppong Twum of the US army, a Liberian-American in the United States of America, has provided learning opportunities for school-going children, ranging from ages 3—8 and 9—12 years in Liberia.
According to Twum, he and his family decided to provide some assistance to school-going children during the summer time this year. He said the assistance would provide training in the following areas for school-going children: computer technology, art and craft, science, mathematics and reading. Twum noted that the objective behind the training is to help improve the educational system of the country. He stated that building the mindset of the younger generation of Liberia is key to his plan for his motherland.
According to him, many students in Liberia graduate without computer knowledge, which he said he believes is not good for growing nation like Liberia. It was against this background, he noted, that he is providing the learning opportunity for school-going children in the country. Providing more information on the pending summer program, he said it will get started by May 1, 2023.
He has also provided textbooks for anticipated students of the summer training program.
Twum, who is a US military personnel and an educator as well, has been providing vocational training for the African community in South Korea. In Liberia, Twum has one of the outstanding technical learning Institutions called the Theresa Nah Institute of Health Science and Technology, located in district#2, Montserrado County. It provides courses in chemical technology and electrical engineering technology for both college and secondary students.
He disclosed that, due to his love for the motherland, more development is underway for Liberia. Twum also promised to help support the transformational process of Liberia’s educational system.
