The people of Liberia know what it means to be deprived of clean water, but we also know what it means to see our children to begin to smile again with a restoration of hope and faith in the future.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I took office, Liberia began to recover from years of neglect. Our people have brought clean water into the heart of Monrovia to children who have never known water from a tap. Efforts are underway to expand water projects as much as possible throughout the country.
I will go on my knees and ask the Liberian people to participate in bringing peace and stability to our country.
What is so striking about Liberia is that in a place where there is so much to be done, I have never seen so many people with nothing to do.
I ask Liberians to pray so that God will bring peace and stability, and bring about unification to ourselves.
I think the majority of the Liberian people want peace.
Liberia just needs to go through this one political transition and it can really take off. Everything's in place now. We cannot afford to put the country in the hands of someone that lacks the experience.
The whole thing about elections in Liberia - it's not about the way you take care of people, it's not about the heart, it's about education, according to the perception of some people.
Clean water and power is our right as humans on this earth, and for too long, our governments in Africa have failed to provide these things.
Going to Liberia really changed a lot for me. I didn't realize what was happening on the same planet. My understanding that in the world everything is interconnected really grew - to go to one of the poorest countries from one of the richest countries in the world. It was two worlds apart.
This legislation confronts the human truth that the need for clean water knows no borders, and proper management and intervention can be a currency for peace and international cooperation.
