She said the Pre School is being funded by the PFEPER MINZ GREEN; a German based Non- Governmental Organization that has already constructed a Primary School at Rolal Village. She said the Pre School project is a five (5) classroom building that comprises of accommodation facility\u00a0\u00a0 for Teachers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Madam Rugiatu Neneh Turay told the Sierra Leone News Agency (SLENA) in an interview that she first met with the Executive Director of PFEPER MINZ GREEN, Stella Rotenberburg at Frankfort, Germany whom she convinced to extend operations to Sierra Leone in the Northern District of Port Loko in Particular.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She said they have secured a vast land for additional project the Organization may wish to embark on in the near future and therefore encouraged the people to embrace the project as it has the potential of benefiting children yet unborn.<\/p>\n<p><i>By Abdul R.
