School children at the C.B. Reeves Kindergarten in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County are said to be drinking creek water.

The School’s Principal, Roberta Fineboy, said the over one hundred kids are drinking from the creek because the school lacks a hand pump.

Madam Fineboy said because of the situation, the school administration sends the students home before midday.

The administration is appealing to Government and NGOs to help construct a hand pump on the school’s campus.
