Technically meaning that Liberia is as safe health wise as many other countries. The end to the ebola epidemic seems to be also making progress in the other rich resource country, the land of Diamonds, Sierra Leone. Which had a recent report of only 10 cases of ebola acknowledged.

I too want to support the cause. I will pass on the word. Will this be an annual event? Or a particular day event? Please let me know. I hope I haven’t missed it yet. I am sorry for the loss of all the people who died from this terrible disease. I will continue to pray for us all. God bless you all.
