Tongo International Donates to the Poor

By: Sumner Kongbap

The Tongo International Solutions (TIS)-Sierra Leone with motto, ‘One Global Family’ on Sunday 5th July 2020 donated 150 bags of rice (Big Joe Brand), polos and facemasks to hundreds of less-privileged people, especially the old, blind and physically-challenged in Lower Bambara Chiefdom, Kenema District.

Amidst jubilation, the people revealed that no other organization has done what TIS has done to the people and community and appealed to all to emulate their sterling example. 

The donation ceremony of the food and none-food items at the Independence School in Tongo is part of the TIS support to the prevention of the COVID-19 global pandemic as the chiefdom has not recorded any case of the global pandemic for which the people appealed to all to contribute generously, both financially, materially and morally, to the advancement of Tongo as a way of giving back to society. 

Mr. Abdulai Kabba, President of TIS Global revealed that they raised Le20 million for the COVID-19 donation, that plans are underway by the organization to construct schools and provide health care facilities as well as other things that would improve the lives of the people and appealed to the people to adhere to government’s healthcare preventive measures to prevent the spread of the virus. 

Mrs. Agibatu Tejan-Cole and the Kenema executive spearheaded the distribution after a needs assessment and registration of beneficiaries as speaker after speaker at the donation ceremony acclaimed the relentless efforts of TIS members in the Diaspora and at home for thinking about them at this crucial time.

The COVID-19 donation also targeted civil society organizations, the police, traditional and religious leaders, the aged and most vulnerable. 

The TIS has prioritized education, agriculture and health with the renovation of the Independence School and provision of clean water to the people, one of the major challenges facing the community.

According to the Kenema executive, one of the main priorities of the organization is to develop the seven sections in the Lower Bambara Chiefdom in the areas of education, health and farming informing that members globally generate funds through individual pledges as well as lobbying for scholarships that are awarded to disadvantaged children in Tongo to be educated and the recent donation of an ambulance by the President to the Panguma Government Hospital, the chiefdom headquarter.

Senegal, first African team to beat England, but not first to score three goals

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson Claim: Soccer World HQ, in a Facebook post , claimed that Senegal is the first African team to beat England and the first to score three goals against them. Verdict: Partly True! Senegal is the first African team to beat England, but not the first to score three goals against them. Full Text The England senior men’s national football team, nicknamed the “Three Lions,” played their first match against Scotland in 1872. That match ended goalless but marked the beginning of an intense soccer rivalry between both nations, dubbed the “Auld Enemy.” Since 1872-2025, the England national team has achieved its 1000-game milestone in November 2019 when they played Montenegro at the Wembley Stadium. England's all-time head-to-head record shows that they’ve played a whopping 1072 matches against 100 countries, won 615 games, drew 255, and lost 200. Senegal, on the other hand, is one of Africa’s most famous football nations, nicknamed the “Lions of Teranga.” In 2002, ...
