The Indian Consul General in Liberia, Upjit Sachdeva, generally known as Jetty has once more extended his humanitarian gesture to inmates at the Monrovia Central Prison.
On Tuesday, January 12, Jeety Trading Corporation provided hot meal or cooked food to 1, 400 detainees at South Beach where the prison is located.
During the ceremony, Jeety expressed happiness in providing homemade meal to hundreds of inmates who have been detained for various crimes.
He reflected on the pledge made to the Superintendent of the prison last year when he visited them but could not fulfill same because of the outbreak of the Coronavirus.
Jeety however expressed delight in fulfilling his promise made with the sole purpose of perpetuating such initiative of identifying with the less fortunate every day.
“I want to do this for the inmates for them to have a delicious meal daily so that they can be a part of the transformation process of the society,” Jeety intimated.
He then thanked the leadership of the prison for giving him the opportunity to identify with the inmates.
In response, Joel S. G. Juah, Deputy Superintendent of the Monrovia Central Prison commended Jetty for the kind gesture extended to the detainees.
He said such gesture was not the first of its kind from Jeety to the prisoners. Juah noted that the donation was a plus, generally toward buttressing government’s effort in feeding those in prison.
