Bringing Hope to Liberia
MARCH 15, 2010 MONDAY AT 3PM CT

 
 
In the wake of a prolonged and particularly vicious civil war, Liberia is still a country without roads, banks, toilets, or even a postal system. So, given those circumstances, how did one former Peace Corps volunteer manage to return to the country and build a school there?

Iron Ladies of Liberia, a film about President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and the Liberia in the aftermath of its civil war, will be shown at Edgewood College in Madison, WI, on March 23, call 233-0775 for more information.

Guest
  • Jo Ellen Fair, professor of Journalism & Mass Communication at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
  • Judy Reed, former Peace Corps Volunteer, founder of the Liberian Assistance Program
