Sunset one evening leaving the Foreign Ministry
As I said before, I am in Liberia to volunteer for the International Women's Colloquium. This will be a two-day event that will bring together 400 local and 400 international women to exchange ideas, impart knowledge and to establish the Angie Brooks Centre in Monrovia.
I am working in the Office of the Secretariat, at the Foreign Ministry, with the event planner, Maya Padmorem, under the manager, Yvette Chesson Wureh. Climbing the stairs up to the 3rd floor where we'll be working, I know that between sweating like a hog and the stairs, I'll HAVE to lose some weight here. :-)
There are several American women working there but mostly an all-African team. It is nice to see women empowered and making it happen. I am tasked with taking over the registration process, which is handed over to me in a disorganized mess. I have my work cut out for me now.
