We had our first project officially completed

We completed and enclosed our first project. It is a health center that does medical services including delivering babies. This is a picture of the closing ceremony they organized. We opened and closed with prayer. We sang hymns and the speakers expressed their thanks to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints charities for the improvements.  Since Cheryl and I are the only members of the charity they will ever see we receive all the thanks. We feel humbled and uncomfortable in that position.

Some of the things we did for them were repairing their benches for the waiting areas.

We put in an all new electrical system and all new light fixtures. We installed a new roof and new ceiling panels. And we painted the interior and exterior of the building. The roof leaks so bad that it used to get the mothers in delivery wet during a rainstorm.

We installed new toilets and sinks inside of the several restrooms.

We refurbish the drainage system so that water would not accumulate around the building.

We replace the stairs at the front and rear of the building with handicap ramps. It's interesting that the Rams in this country are sloped a lot more than the ramps in america.


 We installed new fans all over the place.

This was a project that was started by our predecessors. Our job was just to see it to completion. We don't do projects like this anymore. Even though there's a need to repair these clinics we are now concentrating on larger projects that will benefit a greater number of people. We are currently working on providing medical equipment to three of the largest hospitals in the country.

The country of Liberia was originally started by freed United States slaves back as far as 1820. Because of that there are very many things here similar to America. The Liberian flag is on the left and the American flag is on the right. These flags are in the conference room at the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Memorial Hospital in Monrovia (named after president James Monroe)

This is the new maternity operating room that we're constructing at the JFK Medical Center. Currently when mothers in labor have distress they have to wheel them into a distant operating room which not only takes time but the operating room may be busy. This one will be dedicated specifically to the maternity area and is located in a corner of the delivery room. He will even have its own air conditioner as you can see in the upper left hand corner of the picture.

Helicopter Ride

Image
We went on a bicycle ride through the town of Victoria Falls. We had two local guides to direct us.  Cheryl standing on the banks of the Zambezi River. This is the river that flows over Victoria Falls. It separates Zimbabwe from Zambia. We went on a walking Safari with Dean as our guide. He had a rifle, pistol and a knife. He grew up in Botswana on his family's farm. He has an English accent. When asked if he had ever had to fire his weapon on a walking safari he told us a story of how he had to kill a charging elephant. The story was frightening because the elephant got so close that when it finally fell to the ground it knocked him over and the two people on the walking tour with him were right behind him but were untouched. With perfect timing a herd of elephants including a large bull elephant appeared about 100 yards from us. Dean got really nervous and was starting to sweat heavily. He told us where to run to if the elephant started charging. The large bull elephant turned an

The last report from Liberia

Image
  This was our last Sunday.  This is the Harbel branch president Darius and first counselor Toe.  We like this branch because it has a generator and fans in the chapel. This is the Kerkula family.  Anna, Nancy, Naomi, David, and Johnson. Elder North is on the end. They have been members of the church for over a year. I have been teaching them the temple preparation lessons. Their understanding of the temple and its purposes is quite good. On the right is Nate Tollefson.  He is from Montana. He has a son on a mission in Liberia. He is a very successful developer and property owner. After getting reports from his son about how much poverty there is here he has decided to finance humanitarian projects here. He has an existing humanitarian organization. He along with other contributors plan on donating more than Cheryl and I have spent of the churches money here in Liberia. Him and his partner Paul are here in Liberia to interview the contractors and NGO's that I have recommended and a

Working on two big projects

Image
This project is for 10 villages with a total of about 8,000 people. We are going to add some new water wells, fix some old water wells, enpower the village to fix their own wells in the future and improve the general hygiene.  The leaders of the community have gathered for us to explain the project and for us to get there commitment . To schools in the area will get new bathrooms and wells. The old latrines filled up and were too small. We will replace them with ones that have a lot larger capacity and also have the ability to be bucket flushed. Much nicer.  Cheryl and the district supervisor are in the background. We always involve the local and area governments in these projects so they can support them once we leave. These women are fishing. They use nets supported on hoops about the size of a hula hoop. This is what the villages look like. No electricity and currently no water.The wells they currently have are dry or they have broken down. We will train about 30 well mechanics in t
