Description

On 23 July 2007. Mrs. Liu Yongqing, the wife of Chinese President Hu Jintao, presented a 20,000 school uniform handover ceremony to the Liberian elementary school students at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Liberia. This is a gift from the first lady of China for expressing her affection for the people of Liberia and her love for the education and children. President Sirleaf emotionally said that the 20,000 student uniforms could make many children who were forced to drop out of school because they could not afford school uniforms to return to school, and therefore would change their destiny, which is a great significance. President Sirleaf also noted that these uniforms will be distributed to students in the three poorest states of Grand Kru, Riverji, and Galboru.
