The Mu Sigma Upsilon Foundation presents, Build a Barrel: Liberia Edition!
In May 2024 we shipped off our first barrel to Liberia! The MSU Foundation collected school supplies to donate to Liberia in partnership with our sister Alicia-Ann Caesar, founding sister of the Abrianeme Chapter at The College of New Jersey, for Teach for Liberia, as well as her upcoming private school.
Alicia-Ann joined Teach For Liberia as its Chief Executive Officer in March of 2022 and brought with her a combined two decades of project management and nonprofit administration experience. Teach For Liberia has 38 Alumni, 24 active Fellows impacting 1, 680 children this academic year across 15 partner schools, in four counties of Liberia (Montserrado, Margibi, Lofa. and Nimba). As of November of 2023, Alicia-Ann has now undertaken starting a private school for 100 children of her farm’s community in Joe Gborgar Town of Grand Bassa.
Thank you for all the donations!
