What powerful journalism! Liberia has such an intricate and rich history. Thanks to World Focus, it will not go untold.

I am enjoying the series “Liberia’s Long Road Back,” and I am commenting for many of your readers and viewers, who like me, usually read your blogs and watch your programs and find comfort and value in these types of stories, but don’t always have time to send in feedback. We want to say thank you for telling Liberia’s story! Thank you!

As a child I was raised at Bopolo, Liberia by missionary parents. Our return to the U.S. left me a stranger here not there. Today, many years removed I still miss and remember the land of my chilhood and rejoice in what I hope will be an indefinite time of peace and prosperity. That women have moved to the forefront of the future comes as no surprise, even as a child I realized they were the real power in the community - it’s just that the men had yet to realize it. To their credit, Liberians seen to have decided to lay aside the divisions of old, brought on when not so well-meaning whites resettled unwanted slaves there in the early 1800s. Perhaps the decades-long civil conflicts helped purge the animosities of old. Whatever the reasons, we Liberians of birth or adoption praise President Johnson Sirleaf and the Women (and men) of Liberia for taking charge of their destiny. As the former colony of the U. S. it deserves this country’s unconditional support; now more than ever.

When the freed American slaves were relocated to the land now called Liberia, they felt some sense of superiority over the indigenous population in the area. The freed slaves did not look upon them as brothers and sisters. They displaced or exploited them.
Now, for Liberia to form a well-kit society it will have to learn to look upon each citizen as a brother and sister. The will have to do what no human group has done so far in the history of mankind. They will have to build a society where no one is allow to suffer unjustly. If they can to that, the sun will rise on their land and be a light to the rest of us.

My father founded an organization named Reclaim Kids. It is a non-profit organization that partners with local Non Government Agencies to provide H.O.P.E (housing opportunity protection and education) for orphans. We are currently operational in Uganda and Liberia. We just broke ground on a home last month. Our website is http://www.reclaimkids.org. Please check it out.
