More Peace Corps volunteers for Liberia
The Country Director of the United States Peace Corps says the American Government will soon send additional volunteers to Liberia.
Madam Luciana Philips said the current Peace Corps in Liberia will carry out some quick impact projects through out the country.
She said, the coming of the additional Peace Corps to the country follows an appeal made by President Sirleaf to the United States Government for the volunteers to help in the areas of health and education.
According to our Grand Bassa County correspondent, Madam Philips spoke in Buchanan during an American-Buchanan speaker corner program, organized by the Bassa branch of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, in collaboration with the American Embassy.
The Peace Corps Director disclosed that four out of the twenty volunteers who will arrive in the country in August this year will be assigned to Grand Bassa County.
At the same time the senior Senator of the County, Nathaniel Innis says the proposed Bassa Community College will not be functional in September this year as widely speculated.
Senator Innis said it will take ample time to renovate buildings around the Bassa High School Campus to accommodate the college.
He told our reporter that everything will be done by January next year to open the college.
He explained that students who will be accepted by the college will pay for credit hours, and the funds will be used for the up keep of the college.
