Monday, March 15th

In the morning it was great spending time and getting to know Christine's staff at REAP. We finalized a few things and prayed together.

In the afternoon Christine and I went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to meet with Cllr. Yvette Wureh who is involved with the Thursday Power Breakfast. We confirmed some of the details. The Breakfast is sponsored by three organizations: 1. Restoration of Educational Advancement Programs (REAP) - a humanitarian, educational and non-profit organization registered in the USA and Liberia. REAP initiates and implements enrichment progams designed to foster character building, democracy, good governance and leadership development. 2. Angie Brooks International Center (ABIC) - an academic/activist center that support the strategic emergence of Woman's leadership worldwide, in three areas: A. Research, analysis and project evaluation B. Training, including the nurturing of new institutions and C. Advocacy, including framing the discourse and building strategic partnership.and Association of Female Lawyers of Liberia (AFELL) - is a not-profit, non-governmental organization duly incorporated under the laws of Liberia on February 24, 1994 with accreditation from the Ministry of Planning It is a direct response to ensure advocacy for the rights of and promotion for the advancement of women, children and indigent persons. AFELL's mission is to advocate for the promotion, protection and advancement of the rights of women and children. One of its visions is to ensure that by the year 2020 majority of Liberian Women and children will have equal access and opportunities to both formal and informal education throughout Liberia.

We then delivered a lot of invitations for the Thursday event to offices in Government buildings.
