On June 16... Ten Schools Benefit From Mama T. Trust Feedings
The Adjie Harriette Thomas
Joque Memorial Trust (also known as Mama T Trust) is a Trust Foundation that
caters not only for the welfare of school going children, but has also come to
the realization that contributing to their upbringing paves the way for a
better tomorrow.

The Foundation was named
after the late Madam Adjie Harriette Thomas who used to feed Pupils of the
Prince of Wales with support from USAID under the reign of President Kennedy in
the United States of America.
The Head of the Foundation, Madam Nora Onike
Thomas decided to follow the footsteps of her mother together with other members
of the family like Mr. Eddie Thomas, who is currently serving as the Public
Relations Officer.
The Trust Foundation joined
school pupils in nine primary schools and one secondary school to commemorate
this year's Day of the African Child. Some of the schools targeted are: Prince
of Wales Secondary School, Saint John Primary School, Saint Thomas Primary
School, Nisi Preparatory School, and Milton Margai School for the Blind and
Visually Impaired, School for the Deaf etc.
The Head of the Trust
Foundation, Madam Nora Onike Thomas said they had support from Choithram
Supermarket, Merani and Sons Limited and individual contributions that amounted
to over Le18million.
"We hope to continue
with this gesture if we have the required support," she said.
She added that if children
are not given food to eat they won't learn and grow well.
"We want to leave a
legacy for the current younger generation to emulate in the near future,"
Madam Thomas said.
The Foundation's Public
Relations Officer, Mr. Eddie Thomas called on the government, companies,
business entities and individuals to support the Mama T. Trust Foundation to
continue with the good works.
"We must take good care
of our future leaders so that they grow well to take up leadership," he
said.
School authorities expressed
nice sentiments about the Trust Foundation and requested that support be
extended to other areas like school and learning materials.
