                                                                                    Meet Time Magazine Person of the Year, Foday Gallah, 37 Ambulance supervisor, Monrovia, and Ebola survivor I am the supervisor on the Honorable Saa Joseph District No. 13 Ambulance. I go out in person. You are there to regulate the movement of the ambulance and sometimes supervise the cases that would come on board the ambulance. ... The first time I had to pick up an Ebola patient, you don’t want to hear it. I was very afraid. Before then we had gone through a training with the Ministry of Health, so we knew how to wear the PPEs [personal protective equipment]. Though the PPEs were on me, the fear was still there. Approaching the patient, I saw this patient lying in a pool of vomit and feces. Wow, it was something to see. I was very, very afraid. Sometimes we carry up to 50, 60 patients a day, depending on the number of calls we have to receive. Because we have only got two ambulances with th

My boss man called said, “Morris, the administer want for you to go and drive for the Ebola team.” So I said, “What, Ebola? How could I go on the Ebola team? I’m not prepared.” ... I went through the training, and they assigned me on a team. I become the first driver for [the] Ebola [body team]. We drove all over the country. I started in March, in Lofa [County]. On July 12 I picked up the first two bodies in Monrovia. The first was a lady. I was afraid from the beginning, but I was protected. She was on a bed. She looked dried up. Her eyes were red and there was blood in her nose. It was horrible. Then it hit our nurses. We lost many nurses there. I had to pick up my friend, a nurs

And I was afraid, because Guinea is not far from Liberia. And most of our businesspeople go to Guinea to buy goods and bring them to ... Liberia. So I knew it was a possibility that they could bring it to our country. I was working for our family clinic in the Smell No Taste area [near the airport, in Margibi County, an hour and a half from Monrovia by car]. I was a nurse. Both my mother and father, plus my elder sister and I, [were] medical personnel. We got Ebola through a crisis that happened near our town. This lady, 26 years of age, she was pregnant, from [the city of] Kakata. And then she got sick. And then she died. A lady from my

Normally we used to bury. But then the community members got upset, saying that we cannot bury. Because whenever we went to bury in ... the community, they would take rocks and begin to stone our vehicles. Some were afraid that if we do bury, the body will resurface and they will contract Ebola. So the government of Liberia made a decision to cremate all bodies. So from that point in time we start picking bodies from the street and start taking them to the crematorium. I volunteered myself to help my country, Liberia, because there were dead bodies in the houses and in the community. It

NEXT LEVEL               Second Album 'Next Level' drops May,2015   Liberia's choir boy turned Afro Dance artist, Alvin S. Kpou aka Douk De Lib, is expected to drop his second album 'Next Level' in May of 2015.  Sitting on my sofa, listening to 'Next Level', I felt a rush, an unstoppable momentum.  It has an unrelenting style, composition is powerful and sophisticated.   Also remarkable is that some elements of his music are not far removed from the original Liberian highlife rhythm played by kru sailors in the 1950's.   There are four guarantee hits on this album, Juju, Prove It, Cry for Africa and Saybah .  It was a struggle deciding between Juju and Prove It, as the number one hit.  Prove It is very catchy with a great beat but Juju is very well arranged, vocals more powerful and catchy.  All the beats on this album are on point.  Next Level deserves to be.                                                                              

"THE REAL ME" SHADOW MAN/ "THE REAL ME"             This is a great song and performance. The melody is strong and tuneful. The singer has an attractive vocal tone, and puts real feeling into the lyrics. The lyrics are interesting and meaningful with some punchy phrases. Instrumentally, the song has a rich, full accompaniment that complements the vocal track perfectly. The performance quality is high throughout, both vocally and instrumentally. Overall, the song is distinctive and original, and I think it has strong commercial potential, even though it would have done the artist more justice if he had  represented the culture of his origin, since the song is about the real "Shadow", and the artist represents himself as a Liberian artist. Great song, tasteful.

                                                                                  Fatu Kekula, Liberia's national hero during operation Kick Ebola Out. At the age of 22, this Liberian nurse creatively treated four (4) Ebola cases, with three (3) of her patients also surviving. Fatu never imagined how critical her nurs ... ing training would become until her family was struck with the Ebola virus. Despite providing her patients with constant care, Fatu never contracted the disease herself due to her innovative "trash bag method." Now, aid workers are teaching Fatu's techniques to other West Africans who don't have access to hospitals or standard protective gear as a way to protect themselves as they care for their sick loved ones.

                                                                         Liberian artists expressing their frustrations, pains, and desire for hope and healing from the Ebola virus in Liberia. So far 1,578 people are believed to have died from Ebola in Liberia alone, according to the latest numbers from the World Health Organization. The country has seen a 52% of increases in cases in just the past three weeks.                                                                              

                                                                                    Mother Rosie Dillon-Wiah : “She did not die from Ebola. Shurina had been ailing in the past year and the death of her sister, Toose Sieanyene Yuoh, last week really took a toll on her. After Toose died, she stopped eating and never really recovered. She went to the funeral, but passed out. She was taken to the SOS Clinic and they treated her and said she has low blood. When she saw the body of he ... r sister, she dropped again. She had not eaten for a week, that’s why she was weak and she died. When they came for the body, they asked whether she had sore mouth, I said no. She was not vomiting, not bleeding. Then they told us that we had called the wrong rescue team and they took the body away, but there was no sign of Ebola on Shurina, I swear.”

The world was looking to the US, Mr Obama said, but added that the outbreak required a "global response". The measures announced included ordering 3,000 US troops to the region and building new healthcare facilities. Ebola has killed 2,461 people this year, about half of those infected, the World Health Organization (WHO) said. The announcement came as UN officials called the outbreak a health crisis "unparalleled in modern times".                                                                    The WHO

By Samuel K. Doe Jr. I can’t believe that it has been 24 years since our young innocent lives changed on that fateful day of September 9th 1990 and will never be the same. Growing up as children of the late president, like most other families in Liberia, we were thought from the ... onset the significance of education and the respect of elders. Reward was synonymous with hard work from our early years. On numerous occasions, we were denied funds to go out on excursions with classmate and friends, funds to needlessly go shopping for toys or sometimes, as harsh as may seem, money to even celebrate birthdays if we underperformed academically in school, other times, any news of us disrespecting our nannies, teachers or elder for that matter would be frowned upon and seriously dealt with. (African Style) Most people would think why would this be the case? After all, our father was the president of the Republic of Liberia; our father’s strict ways of discipline may appear unorthodox an

Adadevoh was one of the first people that had contact with the late Sawyer. Mrs. Sawyer said she shared in the pain of the Adadevoh family in an email interview with The Leadership. She added that it was painful that her husband had caused so much damage in his country, Liberia, and Nigeria with the Ebola virus. Sawyer said, “I share in the pains that the family members of the Nigerian doctor are going through. It is just a pity that Patrick had to cause this damage both in Liberia and Nigeria.” Sawyer, a resident of Minnesota, USA, apologised for the seeming heartlessness of her open letter, asking Nigerians to be mindful of her daughters, and not curse the Sawyer name,

U.S. Orders Departure of Eligible Family Members from Liberia; Sending Additional Disease Specialists to Assist Press Statement Marie Harf Deputy Department Spokesperson , Office of the Spokesperson Washington, DC August 7, 2014 Share on facebook Share on twitter At the recommendation of the U.S. Embassy in Liberia, the State Department today ordered the departure from Monrovia of all eligible family members (EFMs) not employed by post in the coming days. The Embassy recommended this step out of an abundance of caution, following the determination by the Department’s Medical Office that there is a lack of options for routine health care services at major medical facilities due to the Ebola outbreak. We are reconfiguring the Embassy staff to be more responsive to the current situation. Our entire effort is currently focused on assisting U.S. citizens in the country, the Government of Liberia, international health organizations, local n
