We need an energetic and creative minded person to help us find ways to raise awareness for our Sponsor a Liberian Student Program. As you know, many children were absent from class from over a year due to the Ebola epidemic. Poverty, the loss of loved ones and the lack of employment opportunities has caused countless children to not be able to go to school. In this role, you will strategize ways to spread awareness online and in local communities to help us give Liberian children the gift of an education. Previous marketing, crowdfunding or PR experience is preferable for this volunteering role. If you are interested please send us a resume, cover letter and any writing samples or letters of recommendation that you have to vcoordinator@yesliberia.org

Description
Conviction created YesLiberia. Daily the needs of underprivileged are ignored. We ignore their struggles because it’s easier to deal with the more important things in our lives-- like climbing the corporate ladder and saving money so we don’t become indigent. And some of us ignore their challenges because they bring back unpleasant memories we seek to repress. But disregarding the plight of the underprivileged yields no resolution. Then certain things happen to remind us their struggles exist no matter how hard we try to pretend our needs surpass theirs.
Jallah was convicted by several of those things over a short period of time. The prostitution of children in Thailand reminded him of Liberia. The rape and war in Congo reminded him of Liberia. The genocide in Rwanda reminded him of Liberia. He remembered his underprivileged past--a past where he was seen as less than elite based on his tribal and economic status and where his education came as a gift from the United Methodist Church.
Reminded, he became convicted to act and YesLiberia was founded to educate and help underprivileged Liberians whose plight he intimately understood.
YesLiberia is a 501c3 charity organization recognized by the Internal Revenue Service since July 2009. All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowable by law. YesLiberia is also registered at four government agencies in Liberia.
