Successful Musical Fundraiser

We recently experienced our first significant and successful fund raising event in Liberia on Friday, June 17, on the campus of the University of Liberia. The event was covered by several media entities here, including the newspaper Front Page Africa.

Elementary School Renovation

Renovations have been done on the Episcopal Elementary School. From these photos, you can see that we are truly blessed.

The renovation was sponsored by the St. John's Episcopal Church parish in Worthington, Ohio, through the instrument of alumna Rev. Mother Abeoseh M. Fleminster, assistant priest of the church.

Students and Principal Siafa Mendemasse

The donation for this project came from the church's Millenium Development Goals Fund. Upon hearing the news about the project funding, Mother Fleminster follwed the protocol and immediately informed our leadership. We thanked Mother Fleminster for her efforts in finding ways to help us with the reconstruction and rebuilding efforts for our beloved alma mater.

You see the staff, students, and principal working on the project so that, at the end, there will be a conducive learning environment for the students, teachers, and staff.

Truly indeed, this is the kind of effort we all, as members of this association, either individually or collectively, can give back to these schools. As you see what one alumna has done, so you too, can assist in these endeavors.

Once again, we want to thank Rev. Mother Fleminster, Father Philip A. College, and the entire membership of St. John's Episcopal Churh for your generosity. May God bless you all.

Bowen Cottage Reconstruction

To God be the glory. Great things will happen.

This collection of photos shows the reconstruction of the Bowen Cottage, which was last occupied by Boss Washington and destroyed during the Civil War.

The Phillip P.T.R. Bowen Sr., the Edwin O. Fahnbulleh, and the George Washington Sr./Farhat families made a commitment during our 10th Anniversary meeting in Maryland that they would undertake to rebuild the residence. The photos show that work on the structure has begun.

We want to thank these three families and especially their head, Dr. Hannah Abeodu-Bowen Jones, for their generosity. At our last Board and Executive Committee meeting, she told us that after the building is complete, it will be turned over to the alumni association for use by the staff.

Let us all follow the examples of these individuals and assist your alma mater. Remember that the Association alone cannot do it. You can help individually, by groups, or collectively.

Again, our thanks and appreciation to these families.
