Special Thanks
Words can not express how greatful I am, to the hard work done by the Lutheran church, in rebuilding, the Zorzor Curran Hospital. I was borned at that hospital, in 1975. It is a blessing to be over six thousand miles away, and see all those beautiful pictures of curran Hospital rehabilition, and opperations after Liberia's devastating civil war. God bless you all, for the hard work.

Supplies for hospital
That's very true. The hospital has a partnership with Global Health Ministries that sent drugs and other supplies. This partnership worked well because the ELCA used to support part of the shipping cost as well. I am not sure of the status of this relationship and how it is being handled today. Several factors need to be considered: management of supply chain, costs, sourcing, leadership, and access may be relevant to this situation.
