Vickie Ward, the daughter of the late Victor E. Ward has assured the students and the University of Liberia faculty that she will continue to keep her father’s dream alive.
Professor Ward dream was to educate and train more Liberian scientist specifically in the physical and natural sciences.
To actualize this big dream, Vickie founded the Victor E. Ward Educational Fund. The Ward Fund's mission is to promote education in science and technology, especially in the study of chemistry. The Fund works each day to carry out the life work and legacy of the late professor.
In addition, the Ward Fund was formally launched in Liberia early April of this year, and more interestingly, its director in Liberia is a former beneficiary of the Ward Fund, and now a graduate, Frinklin Bondoo. The photo above shows Frinklin Bondoo, Ward Fund Director, Liberia.
Vickie promised to lobby for qualified chemistry professors when she returns to the United States, and to solicit assistance for laboratory apparatus and equipment.
Vickie tours the Chemistry Lab as she listens to lab technicians, instructors, and students about the deplorable condition of the lab.
