"dire and gloomy projections"

the foreign minister of Liberia just spoke on CNN of :
"dire and gloomy projections"
3,280 infected
1677 dead
"yes we get scary"

As a child of Liberia I can not sit by and not spread the word of this historical outbreak and its impact on West Africa.

I also must ask that you join in the fight with us:

Like Barack Obama said...

As Africans we have to learn to work together, be able to do "more than one thing at a time". Remember when McCain shut down his campaign saying, "I'm heading back to Washington..." to focus on the financial crisis, that was a self serving move, synonymous to a political move.

the point is we have to work like ants packing supplies for the winter, like bees working together to make honey, lets help make the West Africa we know sweet again...lets fight Ebola.

To my American and worldwide friends, the same thing goes to you.  I know we are all involve in various charities and humanitarian affairs, we here at It Takes the World still support other charities and 501c organizations.  

The end goal is to defeat Ebola right now. Let's fight, donate, share ideas said purpose.  Anything positive to help stop the crying and dying....a pebble help grows the mound, a little nectar help make sweet honey.  
BE POSITIVE!
