Thank You Letter to President
George W. Bush, United States President

President George W. Bush

Dear Present Bush:
On behalf of
the officers and members of the Liberian History, Education &
Development, Inc. (LIHEDE) based in Greensboro, North Carolina
and Liberia, I write to commend and thanks you for heeling our
call in our January 23, 2006 and many others that in order to
fully appreciate these transformations and contribute
meaningfully to the reconstruction of Liberia, the people of
Liberia must begin to enjoy a healthy environment that is free
of malaria and other deadly but curable diseases.
We at LIHEDE, therefore, appealed to
you to provide whatever assistance they can in combating and
eradicating malaria that kills nearly 21,300 Liberian children
each year as millions of dollars in scare resources are spent on
buying malaria tablets, mosquito sprays, mosquito coils, and
other less effective malaria treatment options. On December 16,
2006, you did what great leader does just before Christmas and
during LIHEDE International Malaria Conference (Dec. 14-18,
2006) at the University of Liberia. A call came from the US
Embassy to inform us to assemble at the US Embassy to hear that
Liberia was selected as a malaria focused nation.
Mr. President, the present and future
generations of Liberian children will remember for your
understanding that they deserve the chance to grow up into
productive citizens and assume the mantle of leadership in
Liberia, so your administration made effort to ensure that these
children do not become the next victims of malaria. LIHEDE urges
you to ensure that the grant be is used solely for its purpose
because this is the only development that can impact the
grassroots of Liberia who are the victims of malaria.
LIHEDE thanks you for using your good
offices for some of the funds earmarked for global malaria
treatment to be used in Liberia.
Approved:
