Flag Day in Liberia!

Happy Flag Day, Liberia!



I hope you enjoy this little video I made in Gbuyee (pronounced Boo-eeee :)I took the video using my digital camera, so the resolution is not the best, but it was all I had with me.

Here are the lyrics to the Liberian National Anthem:

All Hail, Liberia Hail
All Hail, Liberia Hail
This glorious land of liberty shall long be ours
Though new her name green be her fame
And mighty be her power
In joy and gladness with our hearts united
We'll shout the freedom of a race benighted
A home of glorious liberty by God's command

All Hail, Liberia Hail
All Hail, Liberia Hail
In union strong, success is sure
We cannot fail
With God above our rights to prove
We will over all prevail
With hearts and hands, our country's cause defending
We'll meet the foe with valor unpretending

And Liberia's Pledge of Allegiance:

I pledge allegiance to the flag of Liberia and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.



















I gave the Gbuyee school a new flag and soccer balls that day --as my thank you gift as I departed. I worked with malnourished kids and their mums in this community. I was also good friends with many of the teachers at this school because Equip had a school health club.

Also my club-foot patient that had surgery on Mercy Ships was from this same community!
