Читать книгу The Bulk Challenge Experience - I. Ezax Smith - Страница 6

Challenges of survival that Ezax Smith and others faced as a result of the Liberian civil war brought out the best in people who already had fine character traits. Ezax’ innate nature as a humanitarian, a leader and an organizer, helped people who had all but lost hope. He awakened the human spirit on that trip, as he also did in the Liberian community in Baltimore, and among Liberians across the Americas. His gift for bringing people together for the good of the whole shines brightly, especially in his spiritual life. To Ezax, I say: “Thank you for the tireless hours of community service and especially for capturing this part of Liberia’s history, which really needs to be preserved and shared with future generations and the world."

The Bulk Challenge Experience reminds us that caring for each other, helping each other and working for the good of each other—all demonstrations of love—are the only actions that can make our nation, or any nation recovering from disaster, whole again.
