The Liberian Development Foundation held a joint fundraiser with United Movement to End Child Soldiering at the Nyumburu Cultural Center, University of Maryland at College Park from 7pm to 11pm. The event featured live music, live performances, and free food. The event was a great opportunity to learn more about the African and Liberian cultures, and to know what the Foundation is doing to help Liberia. The Minister of Education of Liberia, Dr. Joseph Korto, was expected to attend the event as he was in the U.S. on a goverment trip, but he could not make it becuase of its busy schedule (see the article on The Liberian Journal). At the event, the Foundation collected a large amounts of books to send to schools in Liberia. Click here to see the flyer of the event. |
