After the activity, Mr. Lukas Waymbewer, one of the Community Figures, said, "Thank you, Commander 501, the Faankahrio region is safe. God bless you". This sense of unity and shared responsibility, coupled with the community's enthusiasm and engagement, makes everyone, from the Task Forces to the Faankahrio community, feel included and part of the collective effort.
