Cestos City, Rivercess County – In a major show of support for education and community development, Representative Steve Tequeh of Electoral District #2 has donated over 60,000 Liberian dollars in cash, along with 25 bags of cement, to enhance learning and infrastructure in his district.
The donation was made on Sunday during the graduation ceremony of Darsaw TownPublic School, where Rep. Tequeh served as the guest speaker. The program brought together school administrators, teachers, students, parents, and local leaders who gathered to witness the academic milestone.
