Luca, Lizard Breath forwarded your marvelous pictures of Cape Mount. You have a fine artistic touch that shows deep sympathy and understanding of Liberia. I am impressed with your photos and rejoice that everyone looks health and well fed' all those years of suffering, and for what?
Ditto to what Mom and Dad! Beautiful photographs even for people who didn't grow up in Liberia. I'm looking forward to sharing with my kids, so that they can see a touch of my childhood. Ciao! Margaret
Bill, not being able to find a boat, i left the lake for you: da na small ting-oh!
opa&oma, sometimes a beautiful smile hides bits of real world: kids still beg for chop-chop, as adults do too. brokality, as some call it, is all around. fortunately the bush and the ocean are still generous :-)
pala, tenk yu, ya?
mugwet, pikin! how funny to meet all of you up here! one more good reason for taking this trip :-) i can't say if liberia has changed, 'cause, like you, i was so small.. what i can say is that i liked it the way i found it (though monrovia seems a bit tense..)
hey makili, you will, then! tenk yu, fo showin' me ha le we to ték pikchuz :-)
to all, but especially to those arriving from Ralph's blog, EarthWalk: my family left liberia in '72, BEFORE the beginning of downfall. secondly, I still live as a graphic designer in Milan, with my kids, who are NOT settled yet :-) (the misunderstandings are surely due to my bad english; or his bad liberian :-))) ciao Ralph, and thank you!
The pictures are beautiful but to some of us, they are beyond beauty......you caught the invisible, past and present together, our memories amidst the laughter of chidren and the desire for rebirth. I can only join the club of those with a lump in their throat.
Luca, Thanks for sharing our sweet Liberia with us. There is one little person I am interested in getting to know the parents of. The little albino girl, I would like to propose to her parents her school sponsorship. If you do have contact with the family, I would like to help. The kids bring so much joy to this world. With the state some are living in and the smiles on their faces, it's just very easy to see the hope in this world.
Piirce, thank you for your kindness. unfortunately. i don't know the girl's family, but i promise i'll investigate the next time! I agree with you about those smiles: hope is there :-) for sure.
Do you still have anyone in Robertsport that I can get in touch with to do me a favor? I've found the little girl that's in the pic. I've been talking to her guardian but I need to have some pix taken of her and i am in need of someone over there who can do that for me and email the pix. I will of course cover the expense of doing that. Thanks much, Piirce
