A Sierra Leonean family from Canada has donated five executive chairs and three conference tables to the Legal Aid Board.
The items were handed over to the Executive Director of the Board, Ms. Fatmata Claire Carlton-Hanciles by Mrs. Mabinty Bangura from Thunder Bay, Canada in a short ceremony in the head office of the Board on March 12.
She said she and her husband Bassie Bangura chose to donate to the items to the Board because they want to contribute to the wonderful job it is doing around the country by ensuring poor people access justice in an affordable and speedy.
Ms. Carlton-Hanciles said she is happy Sierra Leoneans overseas know and appreciate what the Board is doing. She assured the family that the Board will do more and ensure the poor have access to and are not disadvantaged in the processng justice. ‘We have set very high standards for ourselves and this is why we have been able to achieve so much and become a household name,’ she said.
It would be recalled that the family donated thirty (30) desktop computers and accessories to the Board in 2017.
