After I paid to send a package to my brother, the postal clerk pointed to the URL on my receipt and told me I could give my feedback by going to that address. The next day we took our cat to the veterinarian. Before we made it home, I had received an email asking me to rate our visit. It seems as if everyone wants to be rated: doctors, mail services, department stores, dentists, chat session agents, airlines… I never rate them.
However, as I looked back at 2023 and thought about how much Dignity:Liberia has accomplished over the years, it occurred to me that you, our supporters, should know you receive top billing.
In 2023 we came pretty close to completing our Maternity Waiting Home, House of Hope and Dignity. We just have a few more details to address before it’s operational! The home’s construction was Phase I of a three phase project. Phase II will be the construction of a dedicated fistula clinic. But we have done so much more over the years. We have:
We couldn’t have done all of these things without the help of our supporters. In fact, we would have accomplished very little. You have been faithful in providing financial and in-kind gifts. We have done A LOT together!
So, if I were asked to rate you on a scale of 1-10, I would give you 100. Thank you!
** We will be holding additional workshops in February in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Monrovia.
