Actress Ejatu Barrie Extends Support to Ailing Entertainer
In a heartwarming gesture of solidarity, Sierra Leonean actress Ejatu Barrie came forward to support her fellow entertainer, Vida Green, who was rumored to have tragically passed away but was, in fact, battling illness. On Saturday, May 15, 2023, Barrie presented a significant donation of Le10,000,00000 (Ten million Leones) to the Green family, demonstrating her unwavering commitment to her colleague’s well-being.
Barrie revealed that her donation had been planned for some time, but upon learning of Vida’s health condition during the holy month of Ramadan, she decided to delay it until the opportune moment. The news of Vida’s alleged demise deeply shocked Barrie, but she expressed immense relief upon discovering that Vida was still alive and responding to treatment. Despite the time constraint imposed by the Vida Concert Committee, Barrie wasted no time in contributing to her colleague’s healthcare. She also urged others to follow suit, emphasizing the importance of helping those in need, irrespective of the prevailing circumstances. “We have to make an effort, despite the current situation,” Barrie said. “Islam encourages it, and humanity commands it.”
Notably, this act of generosity is not an isolated incident for Ejatu Barrie. She mentioned that she has consistently offered support to others in need but preferred to keep her charitable deeds private. As a compassionate individual, Barrie pledged to continue extending a helping hand whenever and wherever it is required. She emphasized that the true measure of one’s actions lies in the impact they have on humanity, believing that such selfless acts would be rewarded by a higher power.
Furthermore, in an exclusive interview, Barrie disclosed that she also donated 50 bags of cement to the Masiaka Project. While working on her upcoming movie, which is set to be released soon, she encouraged Sierra Leoneans to follow her on her YouTube channel.
Ejatu Barrie’s unwavering support for her colleague and her philanthropic endeavors exemplify the compassion and empathy deeply ingrained within the entertainment industry. Her selfless act serves as an inspiration to others, reminding us all of the importance of coming together and lending a helping hand during times of need.
