Dear Friends!
As many of you all know, I was appointed by Her Excellency Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, President of the Republic of Liberia, in March 2009 and Commissioned as Honorary Consul General Republic of Liberia (HCG) in August 2009. Almost 15 months later, I wanted to share with you some of our accomplishments, community activities, and awards with a particular focus on the Government of Liberia’s Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS). We are also excited to announce that we will be opening the Liberian Consulate Office in the spring of 2011 and will be processing visas for all who will be traveling to Liberia. A Grand Opening will be announced soon.
I also want to say a special thank-you to all of the staff, volunteers, and friends and of course my family for all of your support throughout the year. We look forward to your continued commitment to help in the “Uplifting” of Liberia, and we encourage you to join us on a future trade, medical, educational, faith and cultural mission trip to Liberia for a life-changing experience! Please feel free to contact my office for further information.
May God Bless You and Yours in 2011!
