A Lifeline for Learning: Senator Moye’s Timely Intervention Brings Hope to School-Going Children in Lehleh Town
By Emmett S Yarsiah Jr. Bong County Correspondent
LEHLEH, Jorquelleh District Two, Bong County — For many students of Nyampue Mamie Dorgbah School, attending classes had become a daily struggle. With no chairs available, children were forced to sit on bare floors during lessons—an uncomfortable and discouraging reality that gradually pushed some away from school altogether.
Relief, however, has come through the intervention of Bong County Senator Prince Kermue Moye Sr., whose recent act of generosity is poised to significantly improve the learning environment for dozens of young students in the town.
The school’s plight was brought to the senator’s attention by volunteer teacher Rachel Williams during his visit to Lehleh on April 2, 2026, as part of his ongoing county tour.
With heartfelt concern, Williams highlighted the difficult conditions students face daily and the negative impact on school attendance. She explained that the lack of basic seating had discouraged many children, with some even abandoning their education.
Deeply moved by the situation, Senator Moye pledged L$100,000 to support the construction of wooden chairs for the school.
Demonstrating his commitment, the pledge was fulfilled just days later—on April 6, 2026—when his office officially presented the funds to Williams to initiate the procurement process.
Receiving the donation, an emotional Williams expressed profound gratitude, describing the gesture as both timely and life-changing.
She also acknowledged the senator’s continued support to the community, including previous initiatives such as the construction of a road and bridge connecting Lehleh to neighboring towns and villages.
On behalf of the school’s administration, she assured that the funds would be used strictly for their intended purpose.
She expressed optimism that the provision of chairs will not only enhance comfort in the classroom but also motivate students to return to school and remain committed to their education.
For the children of Lehleh, what was once a silent struggle is now giving way to renewed hope, dignity, and opportunity—one chair at a time.
