Traveling To Monrovia, Liberia - Part III

WE ARE BACK!

Phew! We finally landed at RIA in Monrovia around 2:20 am from Morocco. These early mornings flight for us has become the norm.

It was dark so we did not get to see much of our surroundings on the 35 minutes drive to my daughter’s home. We slept for a few hours and as usual, woke up around 7:30 am for the day. The excitement of being home was in full gear – after 14 years of being away!

Over the next several days, we visited family and friends. We were anxious to get to Barnersville and start on our journey there.

As I said earlier, if you need to understand the bigger reason for our visit to Liberia, visit the Foundation’s website at www.childrenltef.org and follow us at www.childrenltef.blogspot.com .

When we decided on the Library projects, I just knew that a visit to Liberia was imminent. You see, the Founders knew that the citizens of Barnersville Township had to be involved in the adventure of hope for the future. We wanted the local people to know and feel that the library projects were for them to help build and contribute their time and resources. We wanted them to know that one day, the library would be theirs to use and run.
We have the leadership of the Zoe Louise Preparatory School to thank for garnering the people of the Community.
