Letters for Liberia: Liberia is Ebola-Free!

5/8/2015

Liberia has been declared free from Ebola on Saturday after 42 days without a new case, according to the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), Reuters reports. However MSF urged continued vigilance until the worst-ever recorded outbreak of the virus is extinguished in neighbouring Guinea and Sierra Leone. MSF’s head of mission in Liberia, Mariateresa Cacciapuoti, said: “We can’t take our foot off the gas until all three countries record 42 days with no cases.” She urged Liberia to step up cross-border surveillance to prevent Ebola slipping back into the country.

A total of 11,005 people have died from Ebola in Liberia and neighbouring Guinea and Sierra Leone since the outbreak began in December 2013, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Liberians came together as one human family to make “Ebola No More” a reality – a coming together in love and commitment to each other… we all have so much to learn from them…
For now, great joy that my dear friend His Excellency the Vice President of the Republic of Liberia, our treasured Foundation for Women Liberia team, dearest friends Dr. Angela and Foday and Judge Willie and family at the Kendeja and so many more of our human family have made this day happen by coming together and holding hands to make Ebola no more!

BEYOND FABULOUS! as we say in Liberia! Thank you all for believing and helping and supporting the Foundation for Women for two decades, especially through our Ebola eradication campaign! Now you can help us tell Liberians’ courageous stories as we produce a documentary film – Liberian stories of overcoming crisis, of trust and faith and love…

Be part of this movement to hold hands with our human family. I promise it will change your life. You can view rough initial trailers on our website or our film partner’s website www.keypointfilms.com.

Please join us in this next adventure! With love and gratitude for believing and staying connected ~ Deborah
