Absolutely no consideration for my time. I came in for an orientation and Randy, the person that was supposed to be conducting it, casually walked in 35 minutes late to a 45 minute appointment.

That said, I am very excited to be involved with Relief's efforts to not only help the impoverished in Liberia, but to educate women and children so that they are able to provide for themselves in the future. There are currently a number of programs in place that really need funding. WOW is the Women Of Worth program. This program provides scholarships for women's trade education. The KIS program is Kids In School and it provides children with education, so important in a country that is basically starting over with very little infrastructure. The global leadership training program based in California also needs support. Relief ships donations of food, clothing and medical items to Liberia and is seeking like items. Relief creates global leaders of tomorrow with their youth leadership training programs based in California. They are also active in their US home base, delivering much needed food and toys during the holiday season. I encourage you to support this fantastic organization led by selfless, dedicated people of integrity.
