Dear Dr. Rice:
Please permit me to extend to you our
thanks and appreciation from the officers and members of the
Liberian History, Education & Development, Inc. (LIHEDE) for
President George W. Bush administration selection of Liberia as
one of the President Malaria Initiative (PMI) nations. The
announcement couldn’t come no better time than before Christmas
and during the time of our International Malaria Conference
(December 14-18) at the University of Liberia, Monrovia,
Liberia.
Malaria, which kills 21, 300
Liberians, most children and pregnant control and eventual
eradication has been LIHEDE’s campaign since 2002. In our
February 1, 2006 letter expressing our gratification for your
participation in the historic inauguration of Mrs. Ellen
Johnson-Sirleaf as the first female president of Liberia and the
first female head of state in modern Africa, we alerted you that
in order for Liberians to fully 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 then appealed to you to provide
whatever assistance you can in combating and eradicating malaria
in Liberia.
We want to thank you because the
selection of Liberia didn’t just happen arbitrarily but out of
our collective effort.
Therefore, we
want to thanks from the bottom of ours dream of a new malaria
free Liberia is on course.
Approved:
