An educational None Governmental Organization (NGO) in Liberia has launched a program for young Liberian scholars to study at 26 Universities in the People’s Republic of China.

Mr. Sanoe disclosed that he discovered the program while he was attending in Ghana, took advantage of it and currently doing his master degree program

Mr. Sanoe about 16 students from Liberia Lesotho and Ghana are currently benefitting from the program and more are about to leave for scholarship studies in China soon.
