You are invited! Sorry for the late notice.

Here is the radio promotion that was run on ELWA radio for the ground breaking ceremony for the new hospital, which was held June 2.  I added some pictures to the audio file of the ELWA hospital over the years including some of the original hospital being constructed in the early 60's

To promote the ground breaking ceremony Gentry Taylor (the project manager) and I were on ELWA radio for an hour program and on a local TV talk program.  Here's a picture I snapped of Gentry waiting for the TV program to start.  At minute 30 of the 35 minute program the host opened up the phone line to take calls.  The first caller said "thank you for the new hospital but you need to turn up the mics because we can't really hear you"

There ceremony went well.  We are in rainy season and the week before the program it rained almost every morning.  Saturday was sunny with just a few clouds.  Here 's a picture from my camera phone of Gentry giving some remarks.  The Vice President of Liberia, Joseph N Boakai, is seated in the black chair (my office chair!).  The VP gave his own remarks and did the official ground breaking.

Now the real work begins!
