Masongbo Community Health Center-(CHC), mosques and churches in the community have all been lit-up courtesy of one of its indigenes Foday “604” Tarawilie.

Of the eight-(8) solar lights that were single handedly donated to each of the three mosques, two churches, the Community Health Center and two installed at the two entrances of Masongbo community have all brought succor to the community.

The lights have now become the center of attraction in the community and parents interviewed have thanked the donor for the lights which they say are now used at night by their children to study, especially those in the primary and junior secondary schools NPSE and BECE examination classes.

For health workers at the Masongbo Community Health Center, they say the solar light installed at the center is beginning to save them from much fear during the night’s hours and has so far boosted their confidence to attend to more patients in the night hours.

As it is now, community residents at Masongbo have extolled Foday “604” Tarawalie for his good will to bring lights to their door steps and at the five religious houses prayers are being offered now to the renowned businessman and prominent politician of the ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party –(SLPP) in the North.

For Tarawalie he says “donating the eight solar lights is not in any way to polish his political agenda but a move to continue giving back to his community at the same time the donation which also targets mosques and churches in his community is a show of charity in the holy month of Ramadan.”
