At this juncture, it is most fitting to give the Jhamnani family their well-deserved golden flowers while the sun still shines upon their journey, and while they continue to walk in good health, prosperity, and divine favor.
In alignment with God’s will, and the eternal principle of service to mankind, the Jhamnani family remains steadfast in action, serving humanity in practical and meaningful ways that have earned them public recognition and admiration. Representing both Indian and Liberian identities, this family embodies the virtues of kindness, honesty, godliness, and selfless service to others.
Service to humanity is more than maintaining gracious relationships within society; it is about building bonds among people, uplifting others, and contributing to their growth and development.
Such actions are not merely moral duties; they are scriptural mandates.
In Liberia, the Jhamnani family has consistently upheld these virtues through their ongoing service and generosity.
Wisdom teaches that honor should be given while one still lives to see and feel it. The man who walks in God’s purpose and dedicates his life to serve others deserves his flowers, while his eyes are yet open.
Sincerity demands that those who sow seeds of kindness for the benefit of humanity should be publicly acknowledged and celebrated.
Against this background, and considering the remarkable roles played by the Jhamnani family, it is only befitting that they receive their flowers while the day is still bright.
As the Chief Executive Officer of Lucky Development Corporation (Pharmacy), Mr. and Mrs. Jhamnani, have continued to shine in every circumstance. Commonly known as Uncle Sam (Shankar T. Jhamnani) and Precious L. Jhamnani, they are uniquely paired by nature; sharing common dreams, aligned visions, and a unified mission centered on serving humanity, especially during these challenging times.
It can be safely said that this couple makes God proud. God delights in those who open doors for others, and blesses the hands that plant seeds of opportunity and hope.
Historical Insight
As history recalls, Mr. Sam T. Jhamnani (affectionately called Uncle Sam), arrived in Liberia in February, 1995, and worked diligently until July 1996, when he opened Lucky Pharmacy on Old Road, Monrovia, on July 17, 1996. He later married Precious, a Lorma by tribe from Lofa County, and together they have built a family grounded in faith, love and shared purpose.
Their union produced two beautiful daughters and one brilliant son, and their twenty-nine years of marriage stand as a testimony of faith, resilience, and Christian devotion.
As a Deacon of the THT Ministry, Uncle Sam is spiritually committed, and actively engaged. Beyond his spiritual duties, he is a quiet philanthropist, helping the needy without seeking public attention. Through Lucky Pharmacy, he provides employment to at least 250 Liberians, ensuring that many families can put food on their tables.
His humanitarian gestures during the Ebola outbreak, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the war years, remain indelibly recorded in the annals of Liberian history.
Success, not failure, follows the Jhamnani family, for their lives align with the divine will of God.
A Prayer of Blessings
May you continue to prosper and grow,
May your compassion forever flow.
May you be shielded from every blow,
May God keep blessing the work of your hands.
May your feet never sink in the sands,
May your hearts keep shining like gold,
May your success never be put on hold.
May kindness always be your portion,
And love remains your daily motion.
Continue to walk in the will of God,
Continue to lift His mighty rod,
Continue to stand within His grace,
And keep winning life’s noble race.
