Transparency, Honesty,Trust, and Integrity — The Real Foundation of a Healthy Life

At the C.H.E.R.I. School Health Program, we teach children that health is more than what we eat or how we exercise — it’s also about the values that shape our hearts and our actions.

💛 Honesty means telling the truth, even when it’s hard. It helps teachers, parents, and friends know they can depend on you.
💎 Transparency means being open about what you do — no secrets that hurt others, no lies that confuse or divide.
🤝 Trust is what grows when we are honest and transparent. It keeps our classrooms peaceful and our friendships strong.
❤️ Integrity means doing what’s right even when no one is watching — picking up litter, returning what isn’t yours, and keeping your promises.

When children learn these values early, they build a foundation for success — in school, at home, and in life.
A healthy nation starts with children who have clean hearts and clear minds — children who understand that character is just as important as physical health.

Let’s raise a generation of honest, transparent, trustworthy, and upright young leaders for Liberia! 🇱🇷✨

At C.H.E.R.I., we believe that a healthy mind is just as important as a healthy body.
School children face academic pressure, social challenges, and emotional stress every day — yet many struggle in silence.

When we nurture their emotional well-being, we empower them to focus, learn, and grow.
Let’s create safe spaces in our schools where children can talk, feel heard, and receive support.
Let’s Listen. Let’s Care. Let’s Act.
Together, we can build happier, healthier schools for Liberia’s future.

🌺Our Choices affect our Lives🌺

Every day, the choices we make shape who we are and the kind of future we will have.

Our prayer at C.H.E.R.I. is that as we teach students to own their health, we would also teach them to be positive role models in their homes, communities and nation, so that they may see the whole world around them transformed.

As students, you are tomorrow’s role models. When you choose honesty, respect, healthy habits, and kindness, you not only help yourself—you inspire others too.

✅✅✅✅Remember:
• Small good choices lead to big positive changes.
• Your education and health prepare you for a brighter tomorrow.
• Being a good influence starts with you.

Let us commit to building a healthier and stronger Liberia, one good choice at a time.

How can we reach the level Rwanda has achieved, if our children are still selling on the streets ?
Education is a Right, Not a Privilege!

🚫 No child should be selling on the streets.
✅ Every child deserves to be in school, safe and learning.

💙 Let’s protect Liberia’s future—keep our children in the classroom.

Rwanda 🇷🇼 has launched Africa’s first self-flying electric air taxi at the Aviation Africa 2025 Summit in Kigali.

Developed in partnership with China Road and Bridge Corporation and operated by EHang, it is the continent’s first public flight of its kind.

Rwanda is boosting city connections and its economy with smart transport and plans a 5.5 km cable car system by 2028, starting construction in 2026.

Today, we celebrate the symbol of our unity, freedom, and resilience. The Liberian flag reminds us of the sacrifices of our forebears and the bright future that lies ahead for every child and community.

At the C.H.E.R.I. School Health Program, we honor this day by reaffirming our commitment to a healthier, stronger, and more empowered Liberia. Just as our flag waves proudly across the nation, let’s raise the banner of good health, education, and hope for every Liberian child.

Parents, Let’s Boost Our Children’s WAEC Scores! 🇱🇷📚

The 2025 WAEC results are out — we are going in the wrong direction, but we can do better! Poor performance is not just about studying — it’s also linked to the proliferation of drinking and gambling spots near schools, weak enforcement of zoning laws, underage drinking, and reduced parental oversight.

Here’s how we can act together:

✅ Healthy Living – Good meals, enough sleep, and regular health checks.
✅ Safe Environments – Demand that authorities close or relocate alcohol and gambling spots near schools; enforce zoning laws.
✅ Stronger Oversight – Know where your children are after school; reduce unsupervised time.
✅ Early Prep – Register early (Sept–Dec 2025) and practice past WAEC papers.
✅ Study Space – Quiet, well-lit area, free from distractions.
✅ Stay in School – Consistent attendance and teacher follow-ups.
✅ Emotional Support – Encourage, motivate, and celebrate small wins.
✅ Smart Choices – Help your child select the best mix from the 39 new WAEC subjects in 2026.

📅 Early preparation starts now!
At C.H.E.R.I., we’re committed to keeping every child healthy, safe, and ready to win — because a secure, supportive environment is the foundation for success.

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹Prevention Is Power: C.H.E.R.I. is in the Fight Against NCDs in Liberia, through a School Health Program.

Non‑communicable diseases—like heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory conditions—are a silent epidemic in Liberia. NCDs cause immense suffering and loss globally, yet many of these illnesses are preventable through early intervention and smart policy measures. 

That’s why C.H.E.R.I. is on the front lines—working tirelessly to change the narrative:
• Empowering communities with health education and screening, making preventive care accessible
• Advocating for lifestyle changes, including anti-tobacco and healthy diet initiatives
• Implementing early detection programs and training health workers for timely intervention
• Collaborating with schools, local clinics, and policymakers to embed prevention into daily life

Why this fight? C.H.E.R.I. believes in preventive care because catching health risks early saves lives, reduces treatment costs, and empowers communities to live longer, healthier lives.

Together, with proactive care and community-led action, NCDs don’t stand a chance!. Let’s join hands and turn prevention into protection.

😞😞😞😞😞Hair Loss in Children – Causes, Care, and When to Seek Help

Hair loss is often thought of as an adult problem, but it can also affect children. While it can be worrying for parents, understanding the causes and taking early action can make a big difference.

Common Causes of Hair Loss in Children:
• Fungal infections such as ringworm of the scalp (tinea capitis)
• Autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata
• Nutritional deficiencies, especially low iron or protein
• Excessive hair pulling (trichotillomania) due to stress or habit
• Tight hairstyles (braids, ponytails, or extensions) causing traction alopecia
• Post-illness or medication effects after fever or certain treatments

Signs to Watch For:
• Patches of missing hair
• Itchy, flaky, or red scalp
• Sudden or rapid hair loss
• Broken hairs or stubble in bald patches

What Parents Can Do:
✅ Keep your child’s hair and scalp clean
✅ Avoid tight hairstyles and harsh chemicals
✅ Ensure a balanced diet rich in protein, iron, and vitamins
✅ Treat fungal infections early with prescribed medication
✅ Provide emotional support if stress is a factor

When to See a Doctor:
If you notice rapid hair loss, scalp swelling, pus, or persistent bald spots, seek medical advice immediately. Early diagnosis can prevent permanent hair loss.

📢 At C.H.E.R.I., we believe every child deserves healthy hair and a healthy scalp. Through our School Health Program, we educate parents, teachers, and students about preventive care and early treatment for common childhood health issues — including hair and scalp conditions.
