In line with their dreams of reaching out to the less privileged and vulnerable, Gifted Soul International Charity (GSIC) reached out with assorted food items to the Sierra Leone Muslim Brotherhood Primary School (SLMB) and the Sierra Leone Muslim Congress Primary School (SLMC), both at Congo Water, Wellington, Freetown.
The donation was headed by the Country Coordinator, Jamiru Melchizedek Yankuba aka Media Jay, who spoke on behalf of the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Gifted Soul International Charity, Mrs. Cecilia Yankuba Gbla, and her team.
He recalled the time they visited pupils of Precious Gem Mission School at Kroobay in Freetown with assorted donation.
He said Gifted Soul International Charity is a Christian based non profitable organization registered by law, with the Motto: “Women whose lives are full of good works”, and is supporting the less privileged with talents to actualize their dreams.
He emphasized that despite being a Christian based organization, they will not forget other faith base groups, and this is the reason for being at the respective schools to make such donations.
He also disclosed that GSIC is based in the United States of America, with 12 members, including two Nigerians; adding that since 2020 they have been donating to several schools; such as at MacDonald along the Waterloo axis, disclosing that similar donation was done in Nigeria in 2022.
He spoke about their intention to expand their charity to more communities, as there are lots of people that are in need.
As a non-profit making organization, they too are looking for support from others, as through that they can reach out to needier communities, furthering that the founder believes “nothing is too small to give, for when you give, it means you are fulfilling the words of God. This is a Christian based organization, but we are spreading our support to all denomination and faiths.” He said.
The distribution of the items was done by volunteers, including Marie Bundu Koroma.
Sheku Deen Kamara, a teacher of the Sierra Leone Muslims Congress Primary School, thanked Gifted Souls International for reaching out to them, adding that such donations are hard to come by these days in their schools. He furthered that if such acts continue, it will go a long way for the kids and their parents.
