I just got an email from a friend of mine about a radio station that she works with in Liberia, called Star Radio. Here's their website:
http://www.starradio.org.lr/
As you may know, Liberia has experienced two civil wars in the past 20 years, and since 2003 has been on the road to reconstruction. Star Radio plays a critical role in this effort, by providing independent information and news to the Liberian community, with broadcasts in 18 languages. What is so great is that, through the Internet, you can hear them too, in English or French.
So yeah, Sharon (my friend) told me about Star Radio, and how they need financial support. She asked me to help out, and there is a website where anyone can contribute. I gave a little, but thought I could also put the word about them. That can be done here:
