March 2019 – Naomi and Noelle visit Liberia

Naomi received a white chicken as a “thank you” gift from the teachers and parents for sponsoring schools in collaboration with Protestant Principal Emmanuel Z Reeves (in white shirt). Man in blue striped shirt served well as Naomi’s faithful and hard-working taxi driver for every day of the trip.
