“Out of 4.2 Million people in Liberia, 65% are young people who are below age 35 and out of the 65%, 85% are uneducated.” Amb. Cooper.

These are the sad facts. To fix this mess, Liberia need more than just a high profile visit. Liberians must fix Liberia’s problems. She made a lot of salient points. She’s indeed an asset to Liberia. WATCH! Education is key.

Ms. Maron Dupa takes the spotlight! It is my great pleasure to inform you that Ms. Maron Dupa will end the school year with DOUBLE-PROMOTION! From sixth grade to eight grade. Ms. Dupa, who attends Ann Sandell International School–Elementary & Junior High School, will end the 2015-16 school year as the BEST in her class at a GPA of 92.2!!! Words can’t describe how so very proud we are of this young lady. We’re committed to ensuring that she and many others are provided the opportunity and tools needed to reach their full potential.

Negativity spread faster than the positives. Amidst all the negative news from Liberia, this is just one of the many great things not reported. Liberia’s best days are ahead. Thanks for you unflinching support. Now, please help us congratulate Ms. Maron Dupa for a job well done!!!! Girls Leading Our World!!! ME1C2/LILFOC FOUNDATION, Inc., congratulate you.

“Education is unequivocally the route out of poverty; and in the 21st century, education can’t be a luxury, it’s rather an economic imperative all Liberians must have access to without going to bed hungry.”–Robert Glede Garguah Jr.

We look forward to seeing you all!!!

Interestingly but not surprisingly, the million dollar question was asked: “Are you doing this with any political ambitions?” Unlike others, I’m not annoyed by this question; I think its well placed. However, let’s not allow the action (s) of a few district us from the real task. I’m a ordinary citizen doing what is require of a good citizen. We are many out there. Shuts out to Solomon for such great exchanges. Look out for the recording of the interview.

“Just because you are in Liberia doesn’t means you can’t achieved goals-Have you seen the opportunity, and are you prepared to seized the opportunity to make Liberia great.?”–Mahja Zeon.

Our 4th Annual Education Gala this year June was the best thus far!!! Not only did we raised a great amount, we had an amazing Young Keynote Speaker. For the last two galas, I decided to showcase young professionals and very successful Liberians who haven’t only achieved greatness ACADEMICALLY, but has also been an integral part of nation building; and my decision to recruit former Miss. Liberia Georgia, Miss. Liberia USA and Miss. West Africa, now Attorney Mahja Zeon, proved astounding!!!

My good friend didn’t disappoint. She delivered one of the best speeches I’ve heard in my life. She might be back next year gala! Lol! Folks, if you didn’t attend, please listen. Her message is for us all. Thanks to Opie Zee for such a powerful Introduction of the Keynote Speaker.

I don’t know about your Generation, but my Generation will make a great impact in Liberia.

Yesterday, six (6) barrels and few boxes consisting of notebooks, backpacks, Teachers Guide, Amazing children and adults reading books, Math/Science/English books, among other things were picked-up for today’s shipment!!! See pictures for few things being ship.

Let me also update you that we’re 99.99% certain today that students in the Rock Hill Community will have access to a decent library before year end.

During my trip to Liberia last month, I met with few great Liberian humanitarians to see how we could help… My sister said “Robert, I need some books for the library soon to be done.” I promised to assist; and I’m glad that a whole barrel of library books is on this shipment for her project and will be donated when we arrive on the ground.

Education is more than key, it’s life. Don’t underestimate the impact you can make with the little you have. Your support is greatly appreciated!!!

The 10,500 books were collected by MIDDLE SCHOOL students who attended Attorney Zeon’s 2010 African Exhibition in Valdosta, Georgia. The goal is to implement small Library projects throughout needed communities across Liberia–Local schools will be the focus.

Don’t tell me what you’ll do. Show me what you’ve done; and I might believe what you say you’ll do. It’s time that we get involved in building the universal harmony and intellectual growth of young Liberians to enable them compete in an every changing globalize arena. #ShutUpAndGetToWork
