Liberia 🇱🇷 "During the Ebola crisis, I lost a lot of people that were so dear to me, my friends, loved ones and people that I interacted with, that I know well, lost their lives during Ebola time. So for this COVID-19, I’m trying to stay safe. Even though I don’t have food to eat, but I’m home. I’m staying home. Because you don’t want to take a risk, you don’t want to take a risk. Because you don’t know who is infected with the virus. There is no money to even cook for today for food because of the economic constraint that everybody is staying home. If you don’t work, you don’t get money to feed your family. The government say everything must be down, everything must shut down, everyone must go home, people must go home to observe the 21 days and since then the government haven’t put any measures in to place to see how best they can feed their citizens.

The President, George Manneh Weah, he has a project, and his project for the COVID-19, I saw on Facebook, is that he is donating a bucket to every community. When you touch someone from outside, you need to, when you come home, wash your hands with soap or hand sanitiser. My community, we don’t even have a bucket yet! For my surroundings, we don’t even have a bucket to wash our hands. I’m calling on every, every people, whether Liberians or Americans or whatsoever: I want us to, let us take our protective gear, try to stay home, try to observe the COVID-19 because it’s serious, it’s very serious. I want us to also pray that God should save us from this virus. There’s nothing else I can pray for just for God’s intervention."
