And how are the children … in Liberia
Supporting education - and smiles.
One visit to an orphanage in Liberia, West Africa changed the life of our founder, Kimberly Harrington. Since then, she has been on a mission to help children in orphanages in Liberia with basic school supplies, computers, bikes and Christmas toys. The goal is simple: to put smiles on the faces of hopeful young children by providing resources to help them succeed.
Meet Hakim
The inspiration behind the movement can be found in one singular person, Sando Warner, aka Hakim Harrington. When our founder visited Liberia for the first time, one of her goals before leaving was to visit an orphanage in hopes of connecting with a child to adopt. The director of All Saints International lined up all of the eligible children under a shade tree and told her to choose one. This process was startling to say the least, but as she scanned the faces of the children, one resembled her father. His name was Sando. He is shown in the left photo. The two of them exchanged information and kept in touch. A few months later, she returned to Liberia to spend Christmas with Hakim and other children of the orphanage. Today, Hakim is a high school graduate and will soon head to America to study at Livingstone College in Salisbury.
But the work continues …
Christmas in Africa
Since 2019, HOLLA! Africa has sponsored Christmas at All Saints International Orphanage in Liberia, supplying school supplies, book bags, books, bikes, clothes and toys. Donations are accepted throughout the year and items are shipped in late October.
WE ARE ONE
“We are one species, all descendants of the same original humans, all brothers and sisters. Our differences are mostly an illusion.”
“God empowered you to come here to make it the best Christmas ever.”
— Mr. Mulbah, All Saints Orphanage Director, 2019
