I release and let go of all self defeating thoughts, feelings and actions.
All obstacles are turned into wonderful opportunities to recreate myself
into a more peaceful, joyful, loving and abundant being. I immerse myself
with the Light of my being. I allow and trust the God-Power within me
to act on my behalf to place me into the right place at the right time,
meeting the right people so that I can express my highest good at all
times. I do not give in to appearances. Every now moment I move
towards and express my extraordinariness. For all this and even
more than I can possible imagine I give thanks and so it is.

Since some relative peace returned to the West African state of Liberia for the past three years, and the election of a democratic government, many Liberians in foreign parts have been trading the cozy life in those places for the rugged terrain of war-torn Liberia.
The country still lacks basic necessities even in the capital, Monrovia, let alone rural Liberia which bore the brunt of the destruction from the fourteen year of one of the world’s brutal civil wars.

Tiny 14-year-old Precious sits on her orphanage bed in the southern Liberian port town of Harper, accused of witchcraft six months ago and exiled from her family and nearby community.
She says she was publicly beaten and tied up to burn at a stake, until the Harper police were tipped off and saved her.
“Precious told us her stepmother asked her to give her biological mother as a human sacrifice,” says Moses Davies, a police officer with the Women and Child Protection unit in Harper’s town centre.
“This is very hard to explain — but her stepmother was a witch and initiated Precious. They asked her to kill her mother as a contribution. But Precious refused, saying, ‘if I did that, who would take care of me?’” Precious’ father has two wives, her mother being the first....Full Story

(MONROVIA-March 23, 2009): Dr. Emmet Dennis, the 13th President of Liberia’s highest institution of learning, the University of Liberia, has been inaugurated at a colorful ceremony held March 23 on the main campus of the University, with President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf highlighting the significant role of the University in national development.
In an address, the Visitor to the University, recounting the institution’s role in national development, noted that despite the country’s turbulent past, the significant contribution of the University to national life has continued unabated.
The President regretted that the civil crisis has reduced the capacity of the University to generate and manage sustainable social, economic development activities in Liberia. The University, the President said, also experienced extensive damage to its physical facilities during the period of war and civil unrest in the country.
The President observed that the challenges to restore the University to a quality institution of higher learning are daunting, but maintained that it must be done. “Although we have destroyed and limited facilities, we must respond to enrollment that has increased from pre-war level of 9,500 to about 18,000 today,” the Liberian leader emphasized.
According to an Executive Mansion release, President Johnson Sirleaf pledged her administration’s support in restoring fully the training and research activities at the University to address the problems confronting the institution. She called on former students and graduates of the University at home and abroad, the private sector, the diplomatic corps, and other development stakeholders, to join in rebuilding the University of Liberia.
The Visitor challenged the University to assume a leadership role in providing research and analytical inputs to the country’s post-war reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts under the “Lift Liberia” initiative, otherwise known as the Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS).
The President praised the partnership between the University and other higher institutions of learning in Africa, Europe, Asia and the United States of America. She made specific mention of the support by the People’s Republic of China, which has contributed a grant of USD$22 million. The grant is now financing the construction of a new University campus at Fendall.
The Liberian leader also expressed Government’s gratitude to the United States for preparing and equipping the Engineering Building at Fendall.
The President also welcomed a 4 million Euros grant from the Government of Italy to be used to assist the reconstruction of the A.M. Dogliotti College of Medicine at the University of Liberia.
President Johnson Sirleaf urged all concerned to play their part in ensuring that the University produces graduates that can compete professionally anywhere in the world.
