The outgoing Pakistani Contingent has constructed a children’s park in
Voinjama, Lofa County, for the kids of the city at Liberia.
Turning over the Pakistan-Liberia Friendship Park to the local county
authorities, UNMIL force commander Major General Muhammad Khalid said
the initiative by the Pakistani peacekeepers will afford the children of
Voinjama an opportunity to play in a clean environment.
The Children’s Park is a gift from Pakistani Contingent as they are
preparing to end their tour of duty in Lofa County, the force commander
said.
A large number of local elders, community members, children and UN
officials witnessed the hand-over ceremony. Local community members
thanked for this beautiful piece of work and expressed their gratitude
by singing Pakistani songs. During their tour of duty, Pakistani
Contingent undertook several programmes and projects outside their
peacekeeping duties, providing training for several youths in various
skills including auto mechanics, electricity, and basic computer
training, among others.
