I wish to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to my supporting congregation and well-wishers. It is with your contribution and caring disposition that our work is possible in this part of the world.
As caregivers and custodians of the goodwill of the church, it is our duty to harness the satisfaction of those we serve. The past months have highlighted some of the activities that reflect the response of the people we are serving. National and international initiatives through conferences and workshops on health care delivery also shone prominently in this period.
We hosted the Liberia Medical and Dental Association conference this year in Ganta, during which I presented on “Fungal Pneumonia, an uncommon, but emerging disease of global significance”. It was well attended.
In January, this year, we received two volunteers, from the U.S. one, a neurologist from the state of Oregon, and the other, an anesthetist. Their brief visit was a very rewarding experience. I wish that our friends in mission will continue to arrange such visitation.
The workers union of the Ganta Methodist Hospital in their sense of gratitude named a structure which they built through their own effort, after me, dubbed, “The Albert G. Willicor Caretaker Center”. It was constructed to house temporarily those from the villages who come to take care of their loved ones while they recuperate in hospital.
In Ganta City, a youth group, who call themselves “Junior Old Timers” also, organized a football tournament in my honor for my “Hard work and service to humanity”.
President of the Workers, Dr. Kimpesa Charlie, Dr. Albert G. Willicor, and Attendant The women of Miller McAllister United Methodist Church in Ganta also gave me and others a day for “compassion and dedication to duty”.
Again, I profoundly appreciate your support and prayers: churches, women groups, organizations, and individuals, who have continued to support our work in mission.
