Friends Of...

Friends of Liberia (FOL) has been working with the people of Liberia since 1986. Its 800 members -- former Peace Corps volunteers, diplomats, missionaries, business people, relief workers and Liberians--are dedicated to helping the nation rebuild its institutions, educate its children and improve the quality of life for all who live there. During the civil war, FOL members worked to end the fighting and lay the foundation for a lasting peace. A 35-member delegation observed the 1997 election. A team of teachers conducts an annual workshop for Liberian primary grade teac hers and principals on teaching methods. The organization strives--in its newsletter and e-mail drop-list-- to be an impartial source of unbiased, authoritative information about Liberia.
