I am really worried about my friends and the students I worked with!<BR/><BR/>Your comments are spot-on. A first grader at my school was killed while crossing the street while walking with family to the bank. Watching the students and teacher grieve was heartbreaking. I heard about the stabbing incident too. There was no current on the camp for several months! It just went back on in December, I believe. Refuge Baptist's midday meal program had to be stopped because they lost their funding from the States. I don't think that people truly understand the situation that Liberia is in right now. It cannot support its current population well enough for refugees to even consider coming back with less than $1000! I took my Ghanaian university peers to Refuge Baptist (I was studying at Legon) and a lot of them commented on what a positive step this was for Ghanaian/Liberian relations. Liberians have been wrongfully portrayed by the Ghanaian media for too long.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964795508763033178noreply@blogger.com
