“Planting Seeds for a Great Tomorrow”: HEGON Graduation Speaker Nukanah Kollie Calls for Continued Investment in Liberia’s Children

By: Staff Writer

Gbarnga, B**g County —It was a joyful and reflective atmosphere on the campus of HEGON Semi-Junior High School on Saturday as students, parents, teachers, and community members gathered to celebrate the 2025 Kindergarten and Elementary Graduation and Closing Exercise.

Serving as guest speaker was renowned Liberian journalist and community advocate Nukanah Kollie, who delivered an inspiring message under the theme “Planting Seeds for a Great Tomorrow.” In a passionate and heartfelt speech, Mr. Kollie reminded the audience that the children graduating today are not only completing an academic year but also beginning their journey as the future leaders of Liberia.

A Message Rooted in Growth and Hope
In addressing the audience, Kollie acknowledged the important role of parents, teachers, pastors, and school leaders in nurturing young minds.

He described children as "seeds God has planted," full of promise and potential. Drawing from a simple yet powerful story about a young girl who patiently nurtured a seed that eventually grew into a fruitful tree, Kollie emphasized that growth takes time, patience, and care.

“Our children are the seeds,” he said. “And with care, patience, and love, they are already beginning to grow into something beautiful. Every lesson, every prayer, every act of kindness—these are the water and sunlight that help them grow.”

Values That Build the Nation
Kollie encouraged the graduates to continue practicing values they’ve learned in school. He explained that saying “thank you” plants a seed of respect, helping a friend plants a seed of kindness, and listening to teachers plants a seed of wisdom.

“When you obey your parents, you are planting a seed of blessing and long life,” he told the children. “And when you pray and read your Bible, you are planting a seed of faith.”
These seeds, he said, will grow slowly and quietly, but they will become trees of courage, goodness, and love—qualities the nation desperately needs.

Honoring the Gardeners

In a moving tribute to the adults shaping young lives, Kollie thanked parents, teachers, and school staff for their continued sacrifices.
“Even when it’s not easy, even when growth seems slow, please keep going,” he urged. “You are not just teaching letters and numbers—you are shaping the heart and soul of our nation.”

Referencing Proverbs 22:6, he reminded them that investing in children today ensures a better Liberia tomorrow.

Personal Commitment to Education
In a show of practical support, Kollie pledged to sponsor the tuition and uniform of the DUX, or top-performing student, of the graduating class for the next academic year. He also offered to supply learning materials including copybooks.

“Let this be a reminder: when we lift up a child, we lift up the future of our country,” he said to loud applause.

Background on the Guest Speaker

Nukanah Kollie is a respected Liberian journalist and communicator known for his passion for education, youth development, and community service. He currently serves as Senior Reporter at Super B**gese Radio 104.9 MHz, where he leads coverage on local governance, health, and social development issues.

With years of experience in investigative journalism and civic advocacy, Mr. Kollie has also worked with youth groups and human rights organizations across Liberia. His presence at the ceremony underscored his deep commitment to nurturing the next generation of leaders through both storytelling and direct action.

Looking to the Future

As he concluded, Kollie reminded the graduates to keep growing, keep learning, and keep dreaming.

“You were made to shine,” he said. “Your best days are still ahead. Keep planting good seeds, keep growing, and keep shining like diamonds.”
The HEGON School administration expressed gratitude to Mr. Kollie and all supporters of the institution. They echoed the importance of community involvement in building the leaders of tomorrow.

Congratulations to the Class of 2025. Liberia’s future is in good hands.
