I've lost a lot of memories over the years including the ability to speak or understand Liberian English. We lived at Firestone and then the bush near Greenville in Sinoe County where my parents ran a 22 bed hospital for a small privately owned rubber company. We left when the civil war broke out. This video was great to show my daughter what it was like for me. Thank you so much for this gift you gave me.

My dad, a surgeon, said the man giving anesthesia did it perfectly but couldn't read or write. Amazing experiences. We always gave peace corp free medical care and a place to stay when needed. It's nice to know the friendliness of the people is still there and the civil war didn't ruin them They were most part really good people. I still call Liberia home.

I loved my time in Liberia and missed everyone when I left suddenly-- a few months shy of my 2 years.

Hi! Great question I think it kinda depends on the country you're in but I think across the board you can't have visitors in your first 6 months (3 months of training and 3 months at site) Because in this time you're not allowed to do any travel or anything because integrating in you community is top priority. The rest of the time visitors are free to come with prior approval of your supervisors.

I am a proud African Liberian that is disgusted with most European descendants attitude and behavior in the U.S toward liberian and people of African descendants although I was born here I can never claim the United States and I'll be moving back to be with my beautiful liberian people.

Is it not called lappa when men where it? I have not heard that before. My community still referred to men wearing the cloth as lappa

Thanks for your visit and contributions to Liberia. I think it was the first video you talked about the food. Not all Liberians eat lots of pepper. You lived in the countryside and those people are poor and limited to food and housing isn't as good but comfortable for them. If you visited a middle class or rich family than you will know other food and real desserts you wanted. We do have cakes, doughnuts and other desserts. I know you enjoyed my country but you only hung around people that was less fortunate. This is why the peace corps goes to the rural parts of the world to teach them. Please do another visit one day into the city and hang with the middle class or the rich. Yes all the food you talked about you will eat them in a different way and whole different cuisines you never tasted. Elegant homes and beautiful furnitures. You will ride nice cars and enjoy going to see nice schools and churches.
