The day has finally arrived! I can't wait to get going, although I am not overly anxious about the travel time. In case you have interest in learning more about Liberia, I have a few recommendations for you.
Book-wise:
This Child Will Be Great by Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf (Current President of Liberia and first ever woman President in Africa)
The House at Sugar Beach by Helene Cooper
Documentaries:
Pray the Devil Back to Hell: It won a ton of awards. Awesome story about a group of women who rose up to try and put and end to the civil war in Liberia.

Sliding Liberia: A documentary about the surf community in Liberia, as well as a brief history and so on...

That's all I have for everyone right now. I will do my best to update everything with pictures and descriptions of what life is like as time moves along. As always, emails are always accepted and encouraged. Thanks for all the support.
