SL Embassy, South-Surrah, Kuwait
In commemoration of the country’s Diamond Jubilee, the Sierra Leone Embassy in the State of Kuwait today distributed food items to Sierra Leoneans in various Communities in Kuwait.
The food distribution exercise targeted Mahboula, Jleeb, Farwaniya, Hasawi, Khaitan and Hawalli communities, with representatives receiving food packages on behalf of their respective Communities.
Addressing the recipients on behalf of the Ambassador, the Minister Counsellor, Momodu Wurie revealed that it is the Ambassador’s desire to avail this gesture to the Sierra Leone Community in the State of Kuwait as they celebrate the country’s 60th Independence Anniversary. He appealed to the respective community representatives to share the packages unevenly, especially those in desperate need.
“Our Independence Anniversaries are usually celebrated uniquely, and as important as this Diamond Jubilee, the Embassy would have initiated a cultural ceremony in commemorating this day. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has prevented that from happening,” he noted.
He ended by encouraging all Sierra Leoneans to be law-abiding when carrying out their duties in Kuwait, urging them to pray for the nation’s leaders, peace and development.
Receiving the food items, the Sierra Leone Union Secretary-General, Roland Bangura, extended his appreciation to the President, His Excellency Dr Julius Maada Bio, Ambassador and Staff of the Embassy for the astounding gesture, stating it is a demonstration of the government’s commitment to providing for its citizens in the State of Kuwait.
Amongst the items distributed were bags of rice, gallons of oil, packets of sugar, salt and milk, crates of juice, cartoons of sardine and tomatoes, and other assorted provisions.
