Liberia Today: Life of a 20-year-old Woman
This presentation will look at life in the West African country of Liberia through the creation of a typical 20- year-old woman, Hawa. A day in Hawa’s life will provide an overview of typical housing, economic activities, health care, food and nutrition, conditions that affect family life and childcare, the status of women, and the status of children.
Lyn Gray, Country Director of Liberia Reads! and former director of international programs at VT, will use personal photos of the last 20 years in Liberia to tell the story.
